Data Sheet & Tech Brief Mainframe Modernization: Convert Mainframe-Centric Schedulers to a Modern Service Orchestration and Automation Platform

Enterprises who seek to migrate their mainframe environment to an emulation-based framework often find their legacy job scheduling or workload automation tools cannot work in the new modern environment. The right automation platform should integrate migrated mainframe applications with modern technology, such as reusable components, microservices, SaaS applications, and containers, so you can orchestrate automated workflows that span your entire hybrid IT environment.
