Why migration?
As IT responds to growing business demands, applications are added over time - resulting in redundancy, complexity and underutilization across the software portfolio. This growing loss of control translates into cost inefficiencies and diminished value.
Migration can help you regain control over your mainframe environment, so you can dynamically align IT resources with business demands. More consistent budgeting and forecasting of IT costs is enabled, so you can accurately plan for growth. By optimizing software, removing redundancies and improving manageability for advanced workloads, you can reduce costs and improve value.
