Breaking Free from Legacy Mainframes: Strategies for Transformation

Mainframes have long been the backbone of many enterprises, but as technology advances, these systems can become a bottleneck. This blog will discuss the common challenges of relying on legacy mainframes, such as high maintenance costs, lack of skilled developers, and integration difficulties with newer systems. Cover key strategies for transforming legacy mainframes, such as:

• Rehosting: Moving mainframe applications to a new infrastructure without changing code.

• Refactoring: Rewriting parts of the application to leverage modern technologies.

• Replatforming: Migrating to a modern platform (e.g., cloud-based) that can scale and support future growth.

• Replacement: Gradually replacing mainframe components with new technologies that offer better functionality.
