Mighty Mainframe

Why Mighty Mainframe Conference

Mainframe topics have been a part of QED for a long time. Recently we sensed the passion and new energy in the mainframe community, so we decided to organize Mighty Mainframe as a conference-within-a-conference at QED.

How it started?

Mighty Mainframe Conference was inspired by the same-name newsletter by CROZ’s board member Kresimir Mudrovcic. Mighty Mainframe newsletter was first published in the summer of 2023 and it offers a comprehensive exploration of modernizing mainframe technology to its readers. Acknowledging the past isolation of mainframes, the newsletter addresses the current shift in focus, where organizations are seeking ways to maximize the benefits of mainframe technology while seamlessly integrating it into modern enterprise frameworks.

The newsletter serves as an independent and valuable source of information for all mainframers, covering diverse topics related to mainframe modernization. That’s why we decided to organise a conference about topics we have been writing about for the past year.

Mainframe Modernization

We are going to speak about mainframe modernization and the skills gap, because we believe those are the hottest topics in the mainframe community. Mainframe modernization means different things to different people. It has long been synonymous with gradual, evolutionary progress. However, the concept of modernization has broadened and gained momentum. Most of today’s enterprises have opted for in-place modernization with a hybrid cloud strategy. It usually includes enhancing mainframe applications and optimizing infrastructure, adding integration capabilities, and adopting common enterprise DevOps processes and tools, while preserving existing applications and data.
