Mainframe Modernization Assessment: 6 Weeks

Mainframes are mission critical systems of record that serve as the repository of complex operational rules and policies that define enterprise organizations. Mainframe applications evolved over many years and have fallen behind in their support of developer innovation and cloud economics. Organizations understand the need to modernize these core IT systems to leverage the benefits of the cloud, and deliver new business value in support their digital transformation agenda.

The Micro Focus Mainframe Modernization Assessment enables organizations to understand mainframe application portfolios and plan their migration to Microsoft Azure.

Micro Focus Enterprise Analyzer software is used to generate detailed information about the structure and function of these large and complex systems. This information enables IT to identify, prioritize and realign applications with current business requirements through extensive metrics, reports, diagrammatic views and querying tools.

Assessment deliverables include an application inventory, services dependencies, TCO/ROI analysis, and a high-level project plan. These insights enable the organization to thoughtfully plan their mainframe application modernization strategy to leverage Microsoft Azure cloud services.
