The Mainframe is the Most Securable Platform
The mainframe is uniquely designed to help protect systems, data, transactions and applications from accidental or malicious modification, leading the industry in system security.
The Risks and Costs of Migrating O� the Mainframe Platform are Too High
According to a Gartner survey using the insurance industry as an example, only 42% of migration projects in the industry meet the original budget and 82% take longer than expected.
Some examples of failed migration projects:
70% of CIOsare surprised by how much additional work and money is required to ensure new platforms and applications match the security provided by the mainframe.
State of Michigan: sued Hewlett-Packard Co. after it failed to deliver on a $49 million contract despite having 10 years to complete the project.
Hershey: spent $112 million in software alone and was unable to deliver needed product; order fulfillment time doubled; the stock price dropped 8%; and earnings dropped 18%.
A Call to Action
For these reasons and others, next-generation Federal IT leaders must come to terms with the mainframe and genuinely commit themselves to making the most of its unique attributes—even as they pursue emerging opportunities such as consumerization and the cloud.

Redefining Mainframe Modernization
Federal IT leaders who don’t view the mainframe strategically can be lured into a migration to inferior operational tools by vendors o�ering aggressive discounts. This kind of tactical, short-term thinking should be nipped in the bud to avoid compromising the strategic, long-term future of the platform.
Compuware can help the Federal Government build a bridge to the future by leveraging the agency’s current assets and modernizing systems on and o� platform as necessary. Simplifying mainframe operations, empowering IT workers with easy-to-learn development tools, and insulating the complexity of the mainframe platform for a new generation of IT professionals are critical to the success of this type of transformation.
