An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
There are three main reasons why companies might want to migrate off of their mainframes: aging hardware, aging software, or aging mainframe staff.
In some cases, business priorities are driving the updating of the software, either because the business logic no longer meets the needs of the organization, or because the language is obsolete and thus the necessary skills are increasingly difficult to find.
In other situations, updating the software is a lower priority, typically because it still meets its requirements. In other situations, such updates may take many months, but migration is more urgent, often because of hardware issues.
TmaxSoft provides mainframe software rehosting technology that addresses all of these diverse situations. Using its OpenFrame technology, enterprises can migrate applications, databases, middleware, and even operating systems to modern, distributed platforms.
At that point, companies can simply run their legacy applications as-is, or update them over time – giving them the flexibility they need to solve their bimodal issues and bring their legacy into the digital age.
