November 1, 2022
As technology evolves, the appetite to modernize business operations grows. With more organizations prioritizing the implementation of automation and other innovative technologies and practices to keep up with consumer demands and remain competitive, businesses that continue to leverage IBM i mainframe technology are realizing that the modernization of legacy systems has gone from a “nice to have” to a necessity. However, this has proven to be no easy task, with many organizations beginning—but failing—to complete modernization plans for legacy systems due to poorly directed time and resources.
With 80% of IT professionals agreeing that the reliability and resilience of the mainframe are still critical to business operations, according to Rocket Software’s 2022 survey report: The State of the Mainframe, companies need the tools necessary to ensure a successful mainframe modernization project.
