The beginning of the year is filled with new possibilities. I have been reflecting on many partners’ conversations from last year and I have identified a common theme: Modernization. Digital transformation requires modernization, modernization of existing IT resources, that most of the time reside on IBM Z.
IBM Z brings security, and resiliency to your hybrid multi-cloud strategy, it takes a balanced approach to application modernization that enables you to leverage your existing investments on IBM Z technology.
Here are 3 New Year's business resolutions to help you achieve just that.
