Chicago, IL – August 5, 2010 – Clerity, a full-service provider of mainframe migration, modernization, and optimization solutions, will present a Webinar on "Mainframe Migration Best Practices and Recommendations," to help customers understand how to avoid the common challenges encountered when implementing mainframe migration and modernization initiatives. The Webinar can be accessed at
http://www.clerity.com/mainframe-migration-best-practices.php.
Mainframe migration and modernization initiatives can lower annual operating costs by as much as 70 percent; however, workload complexity, organizational politics, and perceived risk prevent some projects from ever getting off the ground. This presentation delivers an in-depth, real-world perspective on the business, organizational, and technical issues that companies often face when implementing a mainframe migration solution.
Shwetank Srivastava, vice president of product development and services at Clerity, and Barry Tait, technical presales manager at Clerity, who together have a combined total of more than 35 years working on mainframe migration and modernization projects, will share lessons learned during this 30-minute session. Srivastava and Tait have played instrumental roles at migration projects at Clerity client sites such as Equifax, NYSE Euronext, and San Mateo County.
These solution experts will offer insights on:
- Recommended steps to ensure executive and technical buy-in before embarking on a migration
- How to avoid common pitfalls when preparing detailed implementation plans
- Typical mainframe migration roles and staffing requirements
- Required test case preparation requirements and execution scenarios
- Why "100% automated" and complete rewrite solutions often run a high risk of failure
"Mainframe migration delivers significant competitive advantage to organizations looking to free up funding for new IT initiatives and business improvements," said Srivastava. "This discussion will help companies make sure their chosen solution is properly planned, staffed, and executed."
The Webinar is designed for technology leaders, CEOs, CIOs, directors, and project managers.
