In this video we analyze how to advance in stages in the modernization of a core ecosystem, with continuous testing and a rollback plan, with key people involved and with a clear scope.
After deciding to modernize the mainframe, the first step is to assess the current state, without touching any systems. Learn how a reengineering analysis maps batch and online processes, dependencies, and cost points, and is accompanied by a metrics dashboard (MIPS, batch times, availability) that establishes the baseline.
We analyze what a turnkey modernization project entails, why the first months of assessment are crucial, and how responsibilities are distributed between the organization and its technology partner.
In this article we organize the discussion around three key axes: the different possible modernization routes, the main trade-offs that condition decision-making, and the specific criteria to evaluate each scenario, with metrics and a roadmap adjusted to the maturity level of each organization.
We analyze this key and increasingly difficult-to-find technical role: its functions, challenges, and what organizations are doing to train the next generation and avoid operational collapse.
We analyze how to optimize costs and performance in mainframe environments to reduce MIPS consumption and improve critical processes in highly transactional contexts.
In this article, we analyze with Mafer Martínez, IBM's Latin American zSkills Influencer, why mainframes remain crucial in today's businesses and how they will continue to be so in the future. We also discuss the most in-demand skills for organizations and ways to acquire them.
We talk about the impact of microservices in the financial, retail and telecommunications sectors, good management practices and the benefits of independence.
In this article we tell you what CICS is, how it works and what its benefits are. We also identify use cases and strategies to improve performance and increase mainframe availability.
We tell you everything you need to know to work in Mainframe: what tasks they perform and how much Mainframe analysts and Cobol developers earn, and where to get training.
