It’s time to accelerate your mainframe application modernization
IN-PERSON EVENT
Dinner Location: Sweetbriar
As financial services organizations digitally transform, modernizing mainframe applications is an imperative to improve business agility and innovation. The question asked is: What is the right approach to mainframe application modernization and how can organizations optimize costs, maximize ROI, and manage security and compliance risks?
In a recent “Application Modernization on the Mainframe“ IBM Institute for Business Value study, among those surveyed, 71% of executives say mainframe-based applications are central to their business strategy. Four out of five respondents say their organizations need to rapidly transform to keep up with competition, which includes modernizing mainframe-based apps and adopting a more open approach that includes public cloud. So what are the benefits of mainframe application modernization, including a hybrid cloud approach?
We hope to see you in New York City!
