• Episode #6: Liberate legacy IDMS for greater mainframe success
    Jul 4 2023

    A recent survey of Fortune 500 companies revealed that 75% of respondents are concerned about having access to the IT talent capable of properly maintaining legacy systems. To make matters worse, 49% indicate they have seen a rapid decline in mainframe-capable skills within the past 12 months.

    Organizations whose business-critical systems rely on IDMS and its ecosystem are feeling the squeeze more than most. Rising licensing costs and a decreasing talent pool have exposed many to unbearable risk and burden. As such, it's no surprise that IDMS modernization is a hot topic, and decision-makers are seeking guidance on how to extricate themselves from this legacy conundrum.

    Listen to our podcast as our panel of IDMS modernization experts discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of their many decades of success working with firms around the globe to liberate legacy IDMS. This is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
