CONNECT YOUR MAINFRAME
APPLICATIONS WITH INNOVATION
A powerful middleware solution to modernize
your legacy applications
WHY ?
IBM i and IBM z mainframes are undoubtedly powerful and reliable.
Yet, the core business applications developed decades ago are no longer suited for today’s requirements nor for tomorrow’s innovations.
Issues are piling up: maintenance, regulations, cybersecurity, mobility, UX/UI, technical debt…all made worse by the lack of skilled developers able to untangle layers of spaghetti legacy COBOL or RPG codes.
When the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is rising, it is time to start the modernization journey!
WHAT ?
Mainframe Integrator Suite makes it easier for developers to embrace a DevOps culture by integrating Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery approaches.
Deploy new technologies while capitalizing on your long-term investments and harnessing the power of your mainframe!
