The demands of typical mainframe modernization projects have shifted to go well beyond simple cost-cutting measures. Mainframe legacy owners now expect additional gains such as conversion to maintainable object-oriented languages, a shift in infrastructure to leverage elastic services, as well as development of agile-based processes. As demand for adoption of automated conversion of legacy languages to Java or C#, or longer-term strategic refactoring to cloud-native architectures increases, a partnership ecosystem becomes more imperative in order for organizations to successfully complete complex modernization efforts.
