Rocket Software Unveils Innovations to Scale IT Impact Through Resilience, Automation, and AI-Powered Agility

WALTHAM, Mass. — May 13, 2025 — Rocket Software, a global technology leader in modernization software, today announced powerful new innovations to its Skills and Efficiency solutions, designed to help enterprises scale IT operations, close the IT skills gap and improve developer experience with intelligence and precision. New product features include automation, productivity-focused tools, and optional AI-driven capabilities, supporting faster development, stronger system performance, and greater IT resilience without adding layers of complexity and risk. By making it easier for developers and infrastructure teams to work more efficiently, the company continues to support businesses in their IT modernization initiatives and transformation journeys.

These latest innovations from Rocket Software empower customers to:

• Boost developer efficiency by cutting task time from hours to minutes and accelerating new developer ramp-up from months to weeks.
• Improve system performance through AI-driven monitoring and anomaly detection for greater reliability across mainframe environments.
• Reduce IT workload with self-service automation to decrease ticket volume by up to 16%, all while maintaining compliance and security.
• Strengthen resilience with advanced, point-in-time data recovery that minimizes downtime and protects mission-critical systems.

Today’s organizations face shifting customer expectations, ongoing talent shortages, and complex hybrid IT environments. That’s why boosting resiliency and agility, especially in mission-critical systems, is a strategic imperative. To meet these challenges, many are turning to AI, automation, and other emerging technologies. According to McKinsey, companies that successfully adopt agile practices can achieve up to 30% gains in efficiency, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and overall performance. And with IT downtime costing more than $5 million per hour in high-risk industries, strengthening infrastructure resilience is now a critical need.

“IT teams are facing unprecedented demands to deliver more while balancing innovation with operational resilience,” said Phil Buckellew, President, Infrastructure Modernization Business Unit at Rocket Software.  “These advancements directly address today’s critical needs – closing the IT skills gap, improving operational efficiency, and enabling modernization without disruption. By aligning cutting-edge technology with business goals, we empower IT leaders to simplify their operations, accelerate business outcomes, and future-proof their organizations, without additional risk.”

“One of the most pressing challenges facing enterprise IT teams today is the ability to address the IT skills gap while modernizing core systems and scaling operations,” said Stephen Elliot, Group Vice President, I&O, Cloud Operations, and DevOps, IDC. “AI is a powerful tool that allows IT to effectively align itself to the business by delivering greater insights and efficiency.”

Rocket Software’s approach to enabling IT modernization while reducing the risk of disruption is at the heart of its product development strategy.  These advancements reflect the company’s commitment to delivering customer value through innovation, evidenced by the introduction of new optional capabilities for both developers and infrastructure teams, including:

• Rocket® TMON™: Proactively identifies mainframe performance issues and anomalies before they impact operations using AI-powered analytics, machine learning, and KPI measurement to proactively identify performance issues and anomalies before they impact operations.
