10 Steps to Mainframe Agility - Mark Schettenhelm - Compuware
Abstract:
Enterprises must quickly and decisively transform their mainframe practices. The slow, inflexible processes and methods of the past have become intolerable impediments to success in today’s innovation-centric digital markets. IT leaders must therefore bring the proven advantages of Agile, DevOps and related disciplines to bear on the mainframe applications and data that run their business.
This presentation addresses these concerns by spelling out a proven, phased approach for measurably modernizing mainframe practices. By following this approach, IT leaders can rack up high-impact, near-term “wins” at each stage along the way, while staying on course toward a vital strategic objective.
