Mainframe & Innovation

Today we will try to give some answers to some key

questions, such as:

How can you keep your portfolio of mainframe applications up to date

(and sexy)?

How can you assure the right level of maintenance and development

skills, even on a long term?

How can you assure the introduction of innovation on your mainframe

environments?

5

We will present 4 strong references of NRB that will bring their answers to these questions:

… through re-engineeering of existing code with modern tools and according to the latest best practices

… through combining the best of both worlds; i.e. the power of the mainframe in a transactional world with a modern SOA architecture and an ESB

… through the use of contemporary development environments youngster love to work with… on a mainframe

… through the use of innovative tools such as in flash memory for boosting performances of an Oracle environment on a mainframe

Still, remain some tough ‘Challenges’:

How to deal with the mainframe knowledge gap (MF experts are babyboomers)? How to assure a unified view of the entire application delivery chain? How to assure the ongoing management and optimisation of this complete chain of mainframe and distributed systems and applications? How to ensure ‘keeping up’ by carefully tuning mainframe applications to the new workloads? How to bridge both the alien worlds: your mainframe team and the rest of IT?


What are the challenges?
