Agile mainframe… mainframe agile….can the mainframe be agile? In an increasingly digital economy, demand for speed and innovation are essential to stay relative – need for quality and security to remain in business.

Companies are creating cloud solutions that rely heavily on their mainframes to provide enterprise services – perhaps once trying to get off mainframe, those same companies are embracing mainframe as agile and delivering business value. This melding of enterprise power and cloud agility have created unbeatable solutions in a modern digital world. It has also brought the realization that the mainframe doesn’t have to be different unless the company makes it that way.

Frank J. De Gilio and Jennifer Velasquez will describe the modernization journey that businesses have taken and the successes that have been attributed to their journey. It will also describe the art of the possible for modern multi cloud environments and the modern processes for delivery in such a architecture.
