Keep Calm and Observe. Prepare your Mainframe for the Relentless Digitalization

Abstract:

In the last 15 years, 52% of companies from the Fortune 500 disappeared. What do the survivors have in common? They embraced digitalization. But becoming fully digital is a true IT challenge that reshapes application development strategies and analytics needs. It also leaves the question of the mainframe platform and its place in all of this.

For more than 50% of user companies, the role of the mainframe remains strategic for their activities and is still very important in their IT strategy. Nevertheless, IT teams are facing the complex transition from the monolithic, yet critical, mainframe applications to a more agile hybrid cloud approach.

Observability has a key role to play here as Data-Driven Decision Making, Customer Centricity and Business-IT Convergence are increasingly becoming the new milestones to achieve. Join us in this session to learn how Observability can help you capitalize on your mainframe and make it an essential component of your digital transformation strategy.
