COVID-19 Places Greater Emphasis on Need for Mainframe Modernization
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on business IT. This past year, we saw many organizations thrive by making business transactions safer and giving educators the ability to teach remotely. On the contrary, some organizations struggled with system failures and website outages as record unemployment claims stressed outdated technology. While the mainframe is a platform of choice for enterprises that rely on its computing power and stability, its aging infrastructure and software requirements are complex and expensive to maintain. Many organizations are now reevaluating long-term strategies to determine how they can improve performance, control costs and add the flexibility of the cloud in their IT environment. Mainframe modernization has become a big part of this conversation.
