Modernizing Mainframes:
Mainframe applications are at the core of the organizational functions and the nervous system of most organizations.They form critical part of the technology infrastructure of businesses. They have been serving the businesses for ages and are best known for their reliability, availability, security and performance.
Mainframe systems are still being used across industries; especially in the banking and financial industry, which require large amounts of transaction data to be processed through RDBMS querying. However these beasts need to be re-engineered in order to leapfrog into the modern digital software world; hence the need for a viable mainframe modernization strategy
Need for Modernizing Mainframes
Organizations that pivoted their businesses around the mainframe and other legacy systems need to hurdle through the challenges of the digital age in order to be able to broaden their business landscape and carry the culture of exceeding customer demands.The ever-changing business needs of the “informed-customers” propel organizations to migrate their applications (that were built few decades back) to re-invent and align them towards an enriching experience and digital transformation.The modern customer has his path on the digital age and expects an efficient, faster response and quicker time to market. However, the legacy layers are interwoven which adds to the overall challenge in meeting the demands. With clear charter, the equation can be changed to transcend the digital horizon.
