In the Spring 2020 IDC
conducted a U.S.-only, web-
based survey with the goals of:
• Identifying drivers for
mainframe Agile development
and DevOps
• Understanding challenges &
benefits
• Identifying best practices
“We knew that if we didn’t include mainframes, this critical part of our infrastructure, in the [DevOps]
process, then there would be consequences… If mainframes are a part of the process, you just can’t
ignore them and develop separately.”
—Director at a Large Financial Institution

MESSAGE FROM THE SPONSOR
Modernize-in-place with the Best of Both Worlds
The fastest, least costly and least risky path to DevOps success is to open the mainframe
to the full range of off-platform tools and practices. Rather than replatforming or rewriting,
this approach preserves existing investments by providing the freedom to combine proven
mainframe native tools with powerful off-platform ones: the best of both worlds.
CA Brightside offers enterprise-grade support for key enabling technologies, like the Zowe*
open source framework and Code4z extensions to Visual Studio Code, from a trusted
mainframe partner.
CA Endevor Bridge for Git opens the mainframe to the world of Git-based collaboration,
including enterprise Git servers GitHub®, GitLab® and BitBucket®.
Enjoy freedom of tool choice with our Mainframe DevOps solution.
