Mainframe modernization refers to the process of updating and transforming legacy mainframe systems to align with contemporary technological standards, improving efficiency, scalability, and integration with modern applications. Mainframes, known for their reliability and processing power, have been the backbone of critical industries such as banking, healthcare, and government for decades. However, their aging architecture, high maintenance costs, and lack of flexibility have led organizations to modernize them using cloud integration, DevOps practices, microservices, and automation.
