Mastek helps its global partners become more agile and responsive through its legacy modernization and migration solutions. Our unique solutions include managed mainframes and field expansion.
Managed Mainframes
Legacy systems such as mainframes have been the technological mainstay of many enterprises during the past three decades. But they have remained insulated from the changes that have swept through the technological and business landscape. But owning and maintaining a mainframe is fraught with problems today. These include:
Mainframes are expensive to operate, maintain and upgrade because of high infrastructure and licensing costs. In addition, these systems have been developed using obsolete languages, making enhancements and maintenance difficult
The pool of internal programming and management talent is shrinking, as is industry support and investment
Mainframes lack the flexibility and nimbleness of newer technologies. As a result, enterprises run the risk of losing the market advantage to competitors
But migrating or modernizing mainframes is a challenging task. Mainframes still power several mission-critical applications and are repositories of valuable business logic and knowledge accumulated over the years. The challenges IT managers face are:
How do you transform legacy systems without any downtime for mission-critical applications?
How do you make the business logic embedded in them available to newer applications?
And, how do you all of this within a viable time frame?
Mastek’s innovative migration framework called Managed Mainframes uses a unique combination of reverse and forward engineering approaches to de-risk the migration process. Besides, ready-to-use industry templates -- comprising business processes, use cases, system requirements and test cases -- help companies migrate quickly and stay ahead of the curve.To learn more about Legacy Modernization and Migration:
