Mainframe Modernization and Data Integration Solutions: Because mainframe and IBM i workloads are typically large, synchronization of on-premises data with the cloud requires constant updates with the latest changes. Extracting, moving, and copying data from legacy sources to AWS data and AI services can be difficult – presenting resource, personnel, and investment challenges.

Precisely and AWS are collaborating to integrate Precisely’s Data Integration solutions into the AWS Mainframe Modernization service, enabling customers to replicate mainframe and IBM i data onto the AWS cloud platform in near real-time.

Transitioning from Migration to Modernization on the Cloud: Migrating to cloud is the first step in modernizing the IT landscape. By completing the migration, the enterprise is laying the foundation for a more modern, agile, and secure IT environment. However, in many organizations, the initial momentum built during migration often slows down and leads to a stall. The true potential of cloud adoption lies in the subsequent modernization of applications and development methodologies, unwrapping compelling benefits. Organizations often struggle to articulate the value proposition for modernization and map it to clear business outcomes.

This session provides best practices to sustain the momentum of the initial migration and transition into a modernization phase to maximize cloud adoption benefits.
