Mainframe Migration: 2-Day Assessment

This assessment evaluates where mainframe applications and data can be transformed by using the Microsoft Cloud, Azure and Power Platforms!

While many organizations continue to use IBM Z and IBM i systems, often referred to as ‘mainframes’, to manage their most critical applications and data, some customers are looking to move some, or all, of their mainframe assets to Microsoft Cloud, Azure and Power Platforms to unlock their digital transformation. By analysing their applications and data needs enterprises can ensure they exploit the power of the Microsoft Platforms and, as a result, enable the digital transformation needs of their business and enable faster time-to-market for new business capabilities.
