Enterprises must quickly and decisively transform their mainframe practices. The
slow, inflexible processes and methods of the past have become intolerable
impediments to success in today's innovation-centric digital markets. IT leaders
must therefore bring the proven advantages of Agile, DevOps and related
disciplines to bear on the mainframe applications and data that run their
business. But how? And where to begin? Mainframe transformation can seem
overwhelming. And no IT leader wants to embark on a "boil the ocean" project
that consumes resources and generates risk without a high probability of
sizable, near-term concrete rewards. This presentation addresses these concerns
by spelling out a proven, phased approach for measurably modernizing mainframe
practices. By following this approach, IT leaders can rack up high-impact,
near-term "wins" at each stage along the way, while staying on course towards a
vital strategic objective that can be fully achieved in less than two years.
Because every organization has its own existing processes, tools and culture,
this mainframe transformation game plan can be modified to fit each
organization's specific needs. No company, however, can afford to further delay
mainframe transformation"” or embark on such a transformation without a clear
plan. To remain competitive in an app-centric economy, mainframes must be as
adaptive as other platforms. And enterprise IT must be able to manage DevOps in
an integrated manner across mainframe, distributed and cloud.
