Legacy (Mainframe) Modernization

Learn Legacy Modernization (1:1, 60 min):

Mainframe modernization is one of the most in-demand, least-taught skills in enterprise IT. I’ll teach you what no course covers, how it actually works in real engagements.

In 45 minutes, tailored to your level, we can cover:

1. The 7R framework: Retain, Retire, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Replace, Relearn, and how real teams classify workloads
2. The tooling landscape: AWS Transform, IBM BOB, GitHub Copilot for COBOL, what each does and where it breaks
3. How real modernization projects run: inventory, assessment, POC, business case, migration
4. Career guidance : how to move from mainframe support/AMS into modernization roles, and what skills to build

You’ll leave with a personal learning roadmap and resources to continue. I’m a solution architect working in a mainframe modernization CoE, this is current, field-tested knowledge, not textbook theory.

For: developers, mainframe engineers, consultants, students, and leaders who want to genuinely understand this space.
