Practical Strategies for IBM Z
CDW sowie Software AG discuss some easy ways to get started with your COBOL application modernization journey, including MSU reduction and zIIP exploitation.
- Modernize in Place: Why you don’t need to rewrite code, migrate data, or disrupt business continuity to modernize workload processing.
- DevOps for COBOL: Introduce Git-based workflows, automated builds, code scanning, and CI/CD pipelines tailored for mainframe development.
- Cost & Risk Comparison: When to refactor, replatform, encapsulate, or extend and how to estimate total cost and time-to-value.
- Governance & Operating Model: Establish ownership, standards, and scorecards so modernization remains consistent and measurable.
- Performance & Optimization: How to reduce COBOL workload consumption on the general processor (GP) by up to 80 percent with modern compilers, binary optimization, and zIIP utilization.
- Ready for More: How reclaimed capacity provides the foundation for growing workloads and launching new, innovative projects on the IBM Z platform you already trust.
