Mainframe Modernisation

At CPT Global we are often involved in mainframe modernisation discussions with our clients globally who share common concerns around the position of their critical mainframe systems in a rapidly transforming digital landscape. Some of the challenges they face are:

  • Soaring rates of digital transactions off mobile devices placing unprecedented demand for mainframe services in an often uncontrolled way.
  • Transactions need instant, secure processing and fraud detection, handled by robust technology solutions at any time of the day or night
  • Increasing volumes of “non-value” transactions e.g. query balance of account
  • Non-agile, complex applications and technology solutions at risk of inhibiting business performance and market opportunities
  • Need to address resilience risks in current technology
  • Diminishing availability of expertise in the mainframe space as mainframe specialists retire

There are a number of different mainframe modernisation strategies that can be adopted depending on the level of risk that organisations are willing to take on. Our mainframe core-service offerings, and the experience gathered in delivering those services successfully to a broad range of customers and industries around the globe, positions CPT strongly in the Mainframe Modernisation space.
