“Enterprises sometimes express apprehension about migrating mainframe systems to the cloud, and can feel they lack the domain expertise required to migrate complex, sometimes delicate mainframe systems,” said Merrick Olives, co-founder and managing partner at Candid Partners. “We’re excited to share the lessons learned and results from the work Candid Partners has done with AWS to help a large enterprise along in their journey and migrate a mission-critical, 25-year-old IBM mainframe onto AWS.”

Highlights of the session will include a review of the solution’s transformation plan for balancing costs, timeline and functional capability.

The lessons and patterns presented will be broadly applicable to large multi-national enterprise organizations using mainframe systems.
