Leadership strengths
ISG defines leaders as those providers that show robustness in five key areas. These are:
- Full-scope modernization: This means going beyond application and cloud migration to help clients achieve business goals, with transformations including automation to optimize operations and performance; support ranging from managed services to software advocacy and consulting; and flexible deals that support MIPS growth and reduction, facilitate cloud migration and more.
- Industry and mainframe expertise: This positions providers to accelerate clients’ decisions on rewriting, rehosting or replacing with industry-specific solutions. Customers enjoy access to industry best practices, and modernizing applications with GenAI, DevOps and APIs that integrate mainframe applications with cloud-native solutions.
- GenAI capabilities: Leading providers integrate mainframe applications with AI models and use GenAI to support portfolio assessments, data conversion, code optimization and more. By designing their GenAI toolsets on industry models, they help clients align processes with business objectives.
- Robust partner ecosystem: They have key partnerships with major hyperscalers, offering differentiated access to incentive programs and technical expertise. They also collaborate with leading automation vendors to reengineer, rewrite or replatform applications, and a dedicated mainframe services and solutions CoE supplements the teams with knowledge and training.
- Focus on business outcomes: Leaders offer innovative solutions to enhance business value. They use automated toolsets to prioritize code conversions and cloud migration, and can design a suitable hybrid cloud strategy.
