In response to today’s business requirements of growth and innovation, enterprises must deliver new applications in an agile fashion while minimizing risk.

Many have turned to a hybrid strategy where choice and flexibility are foundational. If there is anything we learned from 2020, it is that the ability of a business to respond rapidly to shifts in consumer consumption and pivot quickly to digital transformation, will optimize results and expand opportunity. Learn how you can use cognitive technologies to analyze mainframe applications and quickly discover and understand interdependencies of changes. You can use this intelligence to:
