As enterprises continue to rely on mainframes for mission-critical workloads, the focus is increasingly shifting toward optimizing existing environments to improve efficiency, resilience, and long-term business value. Organizations are looking for ways to reduce operational complexity, enhance performance, preserve institutional knowledge, and extend the value of their mainframe investments while supporting hybrid and AI-enabled operating models.

Everest Group has positioned Wipro as a Leader in the Modern Mainframe Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026 reinforcing our ability to operate at scale across retained mainframe estates while advancing optimization, service automation, hybrid-mainframe extension, and modernization of the mainframe operating model.

Enterprises benefit from Wipro's automation-led approach to cost and performance optimization, operational resilience, and in-place modernization. By combining solutions such as ModerniZ, WINGS, and AI-enabled operational capabilities with deep IBM Z expertise, Wipro helps organizations improve system performance, optimize operating costs, strengthen knowledge continuity, and unlock greater value from retained mainframe estates without disrupting critical business operations.

"As enterprises continue to rely on the mainframe for mission-critical workloads, the priority is shifting toward making these environments more efficient, resilient, and ready for hybrid and AI-enabled operating models. Wipro's retain-and-optimize proposition addresses this need by bringing together cost and performance improvement, operational resilience, and knowledge continuity without disrupting core systems. This ability to modernize the mainframe in place has supported Wipro's positioning as a Leader in Everest Group's Modern Mainframe Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026," said Zachariah Chirayil, Practice Director, Everest Group.”
