High Mainframe Cost Poor Mainframe Value

• In the competitive environment, survival depends on being cost efficient

Mainframe Inflexibility• Mainframes do not provide the flexibility needed to meet market

demands

Poor Mainframe Supportability• Fewer vendors, products for mainframe

• Deficiency in mainframe skilled professionals

Mainframe roadmap risks losing valuable legacy• Porting COBOLs to Java on mainframe (UNIX) will not solve the

problems in many cases

Advancement of Technology • High end PC class / Midrange servers with latest Windows/UNIX

out‑perform mainframe

Why Migrate from MainframeWhy Migrate from Mainframe

55

Leading Edge Software Design and Development

What Best to Migrate

• Applications requiring Flexibility & Supportability

Example: Print Industry applications, ERP Systems

Windows has a large number of vendors and supporting products to choose from, whereas in Mainframe the list is limited

What not to Migrate• Highly secure and sensitive data such as finance / military data

requiring B1 level security

What to Lookout for• Latest Technologies (Both Hardware & Software)

• Success / Failure Stories, Reliable Resources for Guidance

• Options Assessment Decision Vendor selection

Point of Inflection• M&A activity

• Changes in regulatory environment

• Vendor support discontinued

• Launching new products and services

Business Pressures• Current IT not able to meet growth

• Shrinking mainframe labor pool

• High turn around time to implement changes

Cost Reductions• IT budget cuts announced

• High maintenance costs of legacy systems

• Renewal of lease is coming up

• Expansion plans around infrastructure

77

Leading Edge Software Design and Development

Lift and Shift - The best option

Legacy Modernization / Transformation

Eg: Convert COBOL's to JAVA on mainframe UNIX

Limitations of flexibility & supportability remains

Replace with Packaged Applications

Eg: ERP systems

Workflow dictated by the package's functionality

Much business intelligence is lost

Rip and Replace

Not recommended due to the time, cost & risk involved

75% of such projects fails
