BMC adds AI to mainframe workflows BMC has expanded AI tools across mainframe operations and development. New releases target skills gaps, application analysis, certificate management, and orchestration.

BMC is adding more AI across mainframe workflows, from developer insight tools to certificate management and orchestration services. #Mainframe #AI #EnterpriseIT

US Admiral & mathematics PhD #GraceHopper was the first #ComputerScientist to devise a machine-independent/high-level #ProgrammingLanguage (FLOW-MATIC, then COBOL). She met with a team on #ThisDayInHistory in 1959 to discuss creation of #COBOL, a #mainframe language still in use.

The #mainframe isn’t going anywhere — the data proves it.

Three paper back COBOL books.

Picked these up at the thrift store today.

The Mainframe is a Modern Platform Mainframes continue to excel at traditional tasks such as high-speed transaction processing and running large batch workloads. Mainframes also can easily handle large amounts of data—multiple…

Modernization is a business decision, not a technical one. And if you are modernizing #mainframe apps call it application modernization, not mainframe modernization, because the mainframe is already a modern platform!

The $40 Billion AI Misconception: Why Enterprise Legacy Modernization Is Never Just a Translation Problem - Development Corporate IBM's 13% stock drop reveals a massive market misconception. Learn why AI COBOL translation is only one layer of a complex 5-part legacy modernization framework.

Investors just wiped $40B off IBM because they think AI "solved" COBOL. 📉

Translation is easy. Transformation is hard.

You can't AI-prompt your way out of 66 years of undocumented business logic and regulatory compliance.
