What we're thinking about hybrid IT modernization
In this episode of The Progress Report, we discuss the complex challenges of mainframe modernization and the risks involved.
In the technology business, the hard reality is that organizations that don’t innovate will struggle to survive.
"Our view is that because the stakes are so high and mission-critical systems are so complex, what’s required is an agile and continuous transformation model that takes into account business, technology, and regulatory challenges to manage risk."
You have questions. We have answers.
Hybrid IT is the design and integration of multiple IT environments, such as on-premises, cloud, edge, and mainframe, to deliver the best business outcomes: flexibility, scalability, performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
With Hybrid IT, businesses can optimize their IT resources, manage their IT complexity, and leverage their IT investments to drive business transformation and customer value.
With hybrid IT modernization, you can achieve both business and operational outcomes, such as:
- Increase growth by entering new markets, creating new business models, and enhancing customer engagement
- Optimize cost by reducing CapEx and OpEx, removing waste, and self-funding your modernization initiatives
- Manage risk by complying with regulations, securing your data and assets, and mitigating tech debt
- Delight your employees by improving their digital experiences, enabling their innovation, and driving their agility
- Improve your sustainability by lowering your carbon footprint, extending your IT asset lifecycle, and optimizing your IT resource utilization
While each company’s challenges are unique, there are some common reasons why IT modernization efforts fall short:
- Oversimplifying cloud
The cloud is an easy way to consolidate all your compute, storage, access, and security needs while reaping the benefits of cost savings, operational agility, and scalability as your business grows. But migrating to the cloud is no small feat. Migration costs, downtime, transition, and unexpected events can add up, especially if the project runs behind schedule. - Changing too much
The average company can have up to 10 digital transformation initiatives running at once, often competing with each other for talent, attention, and resources. If something goes wrong, it can take days to detect and diagnose it, leading to downtime or outages that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour. - Moving too fast
Modernizing an entire organization’s tech stack isn’t about being quick–it’s about reaping benefits for your business. Doing it right is much more important than doing it fast, and that means centering your process on your workloads. - Legacy challenges
One of the hardest parts of modernizing for a digital-first economy is integrating your legacy systems. Complex, siloed legacy systems purpose-built for the needs of another time can create ongoing (not to mention expensive) barriers to IT modernization.
