Companies are moving towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide the required flexibility in IT systems, so that IT remains relevant to business. Mainframe applications built decades ago were never meant to support such a changing environment. The focus was on automating specific business processes and processing large volumes of information for the lowest cost possible. Speed of execution and not flexibility was the main criteria. Since Windows Server 2008 provides power and performance equivalent to hundreds of mainframe MIPS, the cost model on which earlier applications were written has been turned on its head. IT budgets can barely sustain existing IT infrastructure and systems, leaving little room to support changing business requirements. How do you analyze the complexity of existing IT systems to build a road map towards next-generation IT systems? What are the technology innovations from Microsoft that are important to understand and analyze? How is this transition being managed by companies who have already realized the need and are executing the road map? Attend this webcast to get the answers to these questions. Using case studies of leading companies, we focus on the Infosys Mainframe Modernization framework to help you build a road map that is appropriate for your company. We also explore technology innovations from Microsoft that are relevant to mainframe modernization.Presenters: Scott Rosenbloom, Legacy Modernization Manager, Microsoft Corporation, and Colin Pinto, Legacy Modernization, InfosysView other sessions from: Windows Server 2008: Build Secure and Innovative Applications.If you have questions or feedback, contact us.
