The Application Modernization Journey

Mainframes have a critical role as part of the world’s computing infrastructure, across a variety of industries and workloads, and advances in the IBM Z platform have made it possible to enable even more advanced computing, like AI, Blockchain, IOT – using modern technologies like containers and microservices.

As many of you have hybrid cloud environments, it’s critical to your success to leverage the benefits of modern applications on the mainframe and integrating with your application estate and your data.

During this webinar we will discuss how the mainframe as a traditional platform is integrating with your hybrid cloud strategy, the challenges and inhibitors you are facing and whatever else is top of mind for the group when it comes to the mainframe environment and modernizing applications to enable your development environment and operations.
