MindTree knows that for organizations running on mainframes maintaining and enhancing these applications is still a struggle; declining budgets and dwindling resources being only some of the concerns. MindTree also understands the difficulties with vendor support and high cost-of-ownership.

MindTree can help you take an incremental approach to modernizing and renovating systems. Beginning with a quantitative portfolio analysis, we arrive at the strategy best suited for your requirements. Many of MindTree’s mainframe consultants are trained by Microsoft and MicroFocus, and have in-depth knowledge of modernization tools. Our consultants have successfully implemented many  end-to-end modernization projects, starting from feasibility studies to implementation support.

Modernizing mainframe applications is typically a four-step approach:

• Application Re-write

• Building new architecture, based on SOA on J2EE/.Net environments

• Application Re-engineer

• Partial migration to Windows/Unix/Linux
• Package implementation

• Application Re-hosting

• Re-hosting based on MicroFocus tools

• Application Re-façade

• Web-enabling applications using Websphere MQ, IMS Connect, DB2 Connect, and more

MindTree is also a member of Mainframe Migration Alliance (MMA), giving us access to various best practices. This advantage can be transferred to your modernization initiatives.
