Many organizations are migrating mainframe workloads to AWS to modernize applications and infrastructure. Mainframe batch jobs are business-critical, so AWS integrated its Mainframe Modernization service with BMC’s Control-M workflow orchestrator. Control-M automates and monitors batch jobs on-premises and in the cloud. This integration provides end-to-end visibility, prevents service degradation, and avoids missed SLAs.

As organizations modernize mainframe applications, integrating mainframe batch workloads into cloud environments is a key challenge. Stonebranch’s scheduler integrates with AWS Mainframe Modernization service to enable centralized, automated scheduling and monitoring of mainframe batch jobs on the cloud. This improves efficiency, optimizes costs, and accelerates mainframe modernization by enabling seamless workload orchestration across legacy and modern platforms.

Various paths can be taken to address the perceived need for modernization. Some consider moving existing mainframe applications to distributed or cloud platforms to reduce costs, enhance performance, and increase business agility as a form of modernization. Learn how the Accenture AWS Business Group (AABG) simplifies mainframe modernization complexity with its Mainframe Zero Approach. Accenture offers comprehensive solutions to migrate and manage operations on AWS.
