It's also about the ability to maintain and support the new infrastructure and make sure that the new systems are able to meet the performance and security requirements of the financial institution.

The benefits of mainframe modernization can include greater flexibility in meeting the changing needs of customers, improved performance and increased security. With the right approach and planning, financial institutions and insurances can successfully modernize their mainframe systems and stay competitive in the digital age.
