Why Migrate from MainframeHigh Mainframe Cost
Poor Mainframe Value
In the competitive environment, survival depends on being cost efficient.
Mainframe Inflexibility
Mainframes do not provide the flexibility needed to meet market demands
Poor Mainframe Supportability
Fewer vendors, products for mainframe
Deficiency in mainframe skilled professionals
Mainframe roadmap risks losing valuable legacy
Porting COBOLs to Java on mainframe (Unix) will not solve the problems in many cases.
Advancement of Technology
High end PC class / Midrange servers with latest Windows/Unix out perform old mainframesWeb:  www.ginfointl.comEmail:  info@ginfointl.com
Do’s & Don'ts in MigrationWhat Best to Migrate
Applications requiring Flexibility & Supportability.Example: Print Industry applications, ERP Systems.     		Windows has a large number of vendors and supporting products to choose                     from, whereas in Mainframe the list is limited.What not to Migrate
Highly secure and sensitive data such as finance / military data requiring B1 level security.
