Cloud computing has been popularized by commercial ventures that offer consumers access to music, movies, books, videos, and other entertainment. While those uses of the cloud have broken new ground, IT teams are responding to business initiatives that take cloud computing to new levels.
You can now work with partners, customers, and internal staff via the cloud. In fact, it’s becoming almost impossible to gain or maintain competitive advantage without benefit of the cloud. That’s because today’s customers have expectations that go beyond the limits of traditional service paradigms.
The most successful cloud implementations make use of mainframe application data and functions, but many IT organizations have questions about the best way unlock those applications for reuse. This solution portal is designed to answer those questions.
Our solution brief “Cloud Enabling Your Mainframe Data” gives a quick, two-page overview of the mainframe/cloud issue, and includes a practical business case.
Why Attachmate?
