    What to expect from mainframe migration

    Mainframe migration is not just about moving data; it's about transforming your legacy systems to meet current and future business needs. This process often involves several stages:

    • Assessment: Evaluating your current mainframe environment to understand its complexities and your business requirements.
    • Planning: Defining the modernization roadmap, choosing the right approach (rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, etc.), and setting clear objectives.
    • Implementation: Executing the modernization plan, which may involve migrating applications, data, and processes to new platforms.
    • Testing and Deployment: Thoroughly testing the modernized systems to ensure seamless integration and functionality before going live.

    Right People Group connects you with freelance mainframe migration experts who can guide you through each step of this process. Whether you need a consultant to develop a comprehensive modernization strategy or a team of developers to execute the technical aspects, we can assist you in assembling the right expertise.

    What makes a good mainframe migration

    A successful mainframe migration project depends on several key factors:

    • Clearly Defined Objectives: Understanding what you aim to achieve through modernization, whether it's reducing costs, improving agility, or mitigating risks.
    • Thorough Planning: Developing a detailed plan that outlines the migration steps, timelines, resources, and potential challenges.
    • Choosing the Right Approach: Selecting the modernization strategy (rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, or a combination) that aligns best with your business goals and technical landscape.
    • Experienced Professionals: Having a skilled team with the expertise to handle the complexities of mainframe environments and modernization techniques.

    What is mainframe migration

    Mainframe migration refers to the process of updating legacy mainframe systems to align with modern business needs and technology. These legacy systems, while often reliable, can be expensive to maintain, lack flexibility, and pose challenges in integrating with newer technologies.

    Mainframe migration can involve different approaches:

    • Rehosting: Moving applications from the mainframe to a different hardware platform without significant code changes. This is a quicker approach, often used for applications that are still functional but require a less costly operating environment.
    • Replatforming: Migrating applications to a new platform while making minimal code changes to adapt to the new environment. This approach offers some modernization benefits while minimizing disruptions to the application's core logic.
    • Refactoring: Restructuring and rewriting parts of the application code to improve its design and functionality, often leveraging modern programming languages and architectures. This approach provides the most comprehensive modernization but requires more time and resources.

    The ultimate goal of mainframe migration is to make these legacy systems more efficient, cost-effective, easier to integrate with modern tools and technologies, and better equipped to support current and future business needs.
