The term "modernization" is being used to mean different things causing confusion in the market. Some define "modernization" as moving away from mainframes and COBOL and others define "modernization" as updating existing systems in place. Modernization, especially application and process modernization, is absolutely essential to the future of the mainframe ecosystem. Open Mainframe Project wants to provide leadership in ensuring that addressing aging applications is done in a way with a broad view of the options, rather than following fashion or tradition. The first step is launching a new Mainframe Modernization Working Group.
