As businesses +transform, they are imposing significant demands on existing mainframe +applications and data, driving the need for modernization to better +achieve business outcomes. + +It's often not a question of if you need to modernize mainframe +applications, only a question of how. The OMP Working Group embraces a +hybrid cloud approach to mainframe modernization with the goal of +helping business improve business agility, optimize costs, achieve +non-functional requirements, while leveraging existing investments. We +will provide a framework for modernization that spans applications, +data, operations, interoperability, and security. We encourage looking +at the business needs first, then take an ROI driven approach to help +assess costs, business risks, and tradeoffs. There is rarely a "one-size +fits all" approach to anything in the IT industry. By providing a +framework we intend to feature the range of options available to help +you to achieve your mainframe modernization objectives.
