Many large organizations continue to rely on mainframe systems for the majority of business-critical data management and processing. Maintaining and modernizing mainframe-based applications is fraught with challenges as experts retire and fewer, less experienced professionals take their place. As part of a strategy for mainframe modernization and sustainability, organizations need to have a high level of development visibility and provide guidance to govern effectively.
Mainframe application modernization
efforts can be quite expansive and expensive. To address
the issues of application quality, performance
and consistency within an evolving infrastructure,
organizations are relying on mainframe governance
as a critical first step.
Governance provides
a foundation to better manage the creation
and use of applications,
provides architects with visibility of code compliance to evaluate code
against policies, reduce redundancies
and eliminate coding errors that may
have accumulated throughout the years. When
governance is part of a mainframe modernization
strategy and is introduced at the onset
of the initiative, it can identify potential
problems before they impact the performance
of mainframe-based applications.
With governance as
the backbone for mainframe-based applications,
organizations can improve the performance,
interoperability and security of their
software - maximizing mainframe
investments. Governance can also streamline
development efforts, boost productivity and decrease CPU utilization.
