Maximize the value of real-time mainframe system data

About this webinar

Your legacy systems are at the heart of Your business. They manage transactions, customers, and critical processes.

But is the data truly available where Your digital strategy needs it?

Key takeaways

• The critical role of the mainframe in global transactions and why it remains a pillar of the business
• Current limitations in accessing and leveraging mainframe data
• The benefits of a hybrid cloud approach, combining the best of mainframe and cloud
• The role of real-time data replication
• How to reduce MIPS consumption, improve data access, and enable new use cases without impacting production systems

Throughout the webinar, we reviewed

• The current context: only a minority of organizations are able to fully leverage mainframe data, even though most critical business transactions pass through it.
• Main reasons for data replication:
  • MIPS reduction
  • Easy access to mainframe data (IMS, Adabas, IDMS, etc.)
  • Integration with cloud platforms and modern analytics
  • Gradual modernization of applications and databases, without a “big bang”
• The Rocket Data Replicate & Sync (RDRS) solution and how it enables secure, reliable, and real-time replication from mainframes to distributed and cloud environments
• Use cases such as leveraging data in Business Intelligence or Artificial Intelligence platforms, operational efficiency, infrastructure modernization, and application modernization. 

With RDRS, it is possible to modernize data, applications, and infrastructure gradually, securely, and without disruption, reducing costs and maximizing business value. 

Organizations seeking to move toward AI-driven decision-making, advanced analytics, infrastructure modernization, and application modernization need to unlock access to their critical data. The mainframe is not a limitation, but a key enabler when properly integrated into a hybrid architecture. 

Modernizing doesn't mean replacing. It means connecting, replicating, and leveraging data where it has the most value, while maintaining the stability of core systems. Rocket Software helps organizations navigate this modernization journey seamlessly, enabling analytics, cloud, and AI on real-time mainframe data.
