While some may see the mainframe as old, the right services can help it stay relevant. With legacy application modernization, the old mainframe can provide ongoing service for an organization. Despite changes in tech trends, the mainframe still offers important service for enterprises if the right tools are in place to support it. Businesses should find a solution that doesn't require too much upkeep.
Some mistakes in modernization come from a lack of information about mainframes. In a Forbes piece from last year, contributor Jason Bloomberg argued that the mainframe can still play a role in the modern, mobile-enhanced world, as long as it remains flexible enough to do so.
This means that administrators should assess what a potential modernization could require before they start making judgments that could affect their enterprise. Cost can also be a discouraging factor, as CIOs and other decision makers feel it's too expensive to invest in new applications. To solve this, the mainframe solution needs to be efficient enough to provide long-term value.
