Migrate from Mainframe Applications

Mainframe applications are large, complex applications that are typically used by large organizations to manage critical business processes. Mainframe applications are often written in COBOL, which is a relatively uncommon programming language. Mainframe applications are typically hosted on mainframe computers, which are large, powerful computers that are designed for high-performance computing.

Here are some of the new solutions for mainframe applications:

• Cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based solutions can provide a number of benefits for mainframe applications, including reduced costs, improved agility, and improved security.
• Containerization. Containerization can be used to modernize mainframe applications by making them more portable and easier to manage.
• Microservices. Microservices can be used to modernize mainframe applications by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable services.
• APIs. APIs can be used to expose mainframe data and functionality to other applications.

Here are some of the benefits of using new solutions for mainframe applications:

• Reduced costs. Cloud-based solutions can help you to reduce your costs by eliminating the need to maintain your own mainframe infrastructure.
• Improved agility. Cloud-based solutions can help you to improve your agility by making it easier to make changes to your applications.
• Improved security. Cloud-based solutions can help you to improve your security by providing a more secure infrastructure.
• Improved compliance. Cloud-based solutions can help you to improve your compliance by providing a more compliant infrastructure.

Here are some of the challenges of using new solutions for mainframe applications:

• Complexity. Modernizing mainframe applications can be complex. This is because mainframe applications are often large and complex.
• Skills. Modernizing mainframe applications requires specialized skills. This is because mainframe applications are often written in COBOL, which is a relatively uncommon programming language.
• Cost. Modernizing mainframe applications can be expensive. This is because mainframe applications are often large and complex.

Despite the challenges, there are many benefits to using new solutions for mainframe applications. If you are considering modernizing your mainframe applications, you should carefully assess your current state and develop a modernization plan that meets your specific needs, and Dynamics Edge may be able to help you with it – contact us for more information.
