Hybrid IT isn’t coming; it’s here. But while your teams juggle cloud sprawl and container complexity, your most critical workloads demand a steady foundation only IBM Z provides. Consider this – IBM estimates that mainframes still handle approximately 70% of global enterprise transaction volume and host core data for 92 of the world’s top 100 […]

Many enterprises find themselves at a critical juncture balancing the proven reliability of their on-premise IBMi workloads with the growing need for flexibility, speed, and modernization. For organizations still running mission-critical operations on in-house systems, the question is no longer “if” a change is needed but when and how.The allure of modernization is strong, yet

COBOL often finds itself unfairly labeled as outdated. The prevailing narrative suggests that modernization must begin by rewriting or replacing COBOL systems altogether. However, this mindset overlooks the deep reliability, performance, and business logic baked into these mission-critical applications. The truth is more nuanced: modernization doesn’t always require a tear-down. In many cases, it’s smarter

Enterprises are rethinking how they manage core IT infrastructure. Fixed overheads from owning hardware to employing specialized staff are increasingly seen as barriers to agility and innovation. Businesses are demanding more flexibility, scalability, and cost transparency. Enter IBMi managed services a model that transforms high-maintenance infrastructure into a streamlined, value-driven operation. For organizations still running

Mainframe outsourcing has journeyed far from its rudimentary roots. Once viewed as a tactical lever to trim budgets, it has now matured into a multifaceted strategic enabler. The narrative has expanded beyond spreadsheets and service tickets today, it is about resilience, innovation, and futureproofing. Understanding this metamorphosis is crucial for enterprises navigating the labyrinth of

In today’s enterprise landscape, mainframe application upgrades, and migrations are not merely technical exercises, they are strategic imperatives. As organizations strive to modernize legacy infrastructure and align with digital transformation initiatives, the ability to manage risk throughout this transition becomes paramount. When such efforts are mismanaged, the repercussions can be far-reaching—ranging from prolonged service disruptions

Mainframe systems are the center of mission-critical operations across industries. However, their increasing entanglement with modern applications has escalated operational complexity. This complexity, if unmanaged, becomes fertile ground for risk, risk that manifests as service disruptions, compliance failures, and reputational damage. Enterprises are awakening to the realization that legacy stewardship demands more than reactive maintenance.

Modern enterprises operate in a landscape defined by immediacy—where transactions occur at lightning speed and any delay can translate into lost revenue or diminished trust. Whether it’s processing payments, updating inventory, or managing logistics, businesses demand infrastructure that is both stable and scalable. The ability to process high volumes of transactions reliably is no longer

As digital infrastructure becomes more complex and mission-critical workloads evolve, enterprises no longer view the mainframe as a siloed relic but rather as an essential core best handled by specialized experts. Here’s a closer look at the five pivotal functions organizations are increasingly entrusting to mainframe professionals. 1. Capacity and Performance Management Workload surges aren’t

Once considered the stronghold of large enterprises, mainframes have long been synonymous with unrivaled reliability, transactional speed, and security. Yet for many mid-sized organizations, these advantages remained out of reach—prohibitively expensive and complex to manage. That narrative is changing. Enter Mainframe-as-a-Service (MFaaS)—a transformative delivery model that democratizes access to mainframe computing. No longer tethered to
