Jubilant Software: is the Mainframe Skills Gap a Moot Point?
From Burden to Bonus
The question of getting rid of your Mainframe is no longer something that we’re hearing in boardrooms. Far from being seen as antiquated or a burden: Those fortunate enough to have a Mainframe are well poised to handle the enhanced AI workloads and cope with the modern security problems that are the most important IT Challenges at the moment.
Kyndryl have released their second State of the Mainframe Report. And as The Register reports: “From a survey of 500 senior IT decision makers, the infrastructure services firm says it found many organizations are integrating their Mainframe with public and private cloud platforms and rationalizing their modernization programs – moving some workloads off the mainframe while updating others in place to continue to benefit from the security and reliability of the platform.”
Preparing for the Future
This is overall excellent news for Mainframe owners. However, something that organizations are going to have to address is the ‘Mainframe skills gap’. Which is a long-running obstacle and threat to continued Mainframe usage. Older generations, who were trained in Mainframe technologies are retiring, and new generations typically lack the specialist skills required to replace them 1:1. How can organizations proceed?
At Flynet we understand both the advantages and challenges that come with the Mainframe. We take a unique approach with our Jubilant software suite, enabling organizations to maintain their Mainframe applications and workloads while integrating and modernizing the application using modern and readily available skillsets.
