Mainframe migrations or mainframe retirement is tricky; it is a difficult trifecta of application complexity, business criticality and precise planning. Automation and trusted partners like Infosys are key to success. Automation at the application, data and user levels de-risks the project, releases migration value early, gives transparency on progress and provides confidence to the business.

Infosys can use economic engineering with AWS migration funding to provide a ‘Zero-Cost-Transformation’. We absorb the up-front costs and spread that cost over the lifetime of the service, which is substantially lower than the existing run-rate. At the end of the duration, we can either hand-back the operations or negotiate a new service contract.

Key Takeaways:

• Address short term liquidity and budgetary shortfalls for the client
• Fully absorb cost of the transformation within the fixed payment structure, converting CapEx to OpEx
• Deliver transformation with managed services
• Typical durations 5, 7 and 10 years
