Today’s mainframes support modern technology stacks, modern development methods, and hybrid/multi-cloud environments. At the same time, their legacy applications have accrued huge technical debt that ever-fewer of their engineers are qualified to address. In addition, mainframe applications are tightly coupled and hard to update without affecting the entire system, and their fundamentally monolithic architectures pose risks to reliability and slow development speeds. For all of these reasons, mainframe modernization is both a necessity and an ongoing challenge for organizations looking for flexibility, agility, and greater cost-efficiency in their IT operations.
Whether an organization plans to retain the advantages of its mainframe platforms or eventually migrate to a fully hybrid/multi-cloud environment, it must begin at the same point: In-Place Modernization. In-Place Modernization 2.0 is a result of the longstanding partnership between Wipro and IBM. This solution blends IBM’s product and technical know-how with Wipro’s strengths in customer relations, system integration, and IT services. Utilizing IBM’s watsonx Code Assistant for Z, the solution parses mainframe COBOL code into easily manageable functions, converting them into Java. Additionally, Wipro’s AI PEDIA GenAI-based tool generates detailed documentation for various IT personas, enhancing understanding of COBOL applications and easing information discovery. This approach ensures efficient application knowledge elicitation and a streamlined modernization process. To know more, download our report ‘GenAI as a Game Changer in Mainframe Modernization’.
