Hello mainframe, our old friend

The challenges of hybrid

What are the biggest business challenges when it comes to mainframe modernization, total cost of ownership, talent, and security? How are tech leaders planning to approach legacy transformation projects and hybrid in the future?

Despite the belief that mainframes are being left behind in favor of cloud-based technology, they’re not going anywhere. If anything, interest and investment in mainframes is on the rise as business and IT leaders across industries validate its enduring role in their hybrid strategies.

But what will it take to make the vision of leveraging both a reality?
