Mainframe
Reimagine life without the Mainframe
Move on from the mainframe in a low risk way while cutting costs and removing dependency from increasing COBOL skills shortage.
It’s possible with Fujitsu PROGRESSION
Building, connecting and maintaining different technologies around inherited, traditional IT has been driven by a strategy to rapidly create customer value, comply with regulations, address fraud prevention and optimize the operation. Financial Services organizations have built complex and costly spider’s webs of various technologies which although flexible and responsive to vibrations, prove costly, fragile, and overly complex to operate and grow.
As current COBOL staff retire, it becomes increasingly difficult to access resources with the necessary skills. New developers are not interested in learning COBOL, leading to a shortage of developers in the market. Moreover, making changes to applications and/or extracting the data to build reports is very complex, expensive and time consuming. This is why Financial Services companies are recognizing that relying on outdated mainframe infrastructure and COBOL is not sustainable and the need to modernize legacy applications is now crucial.
At Fujitsu, we’ve developed a highly automated solution to modernize legacy applications on-premise or in the Cloud.

Minnesota Department of Education
With support costs mounting and a shortage of COBOL programmers, Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), in partnership with Minnesota IT Services (MNIT), recognized it could no longer delay its mainframe modernization project. Working alongside Fujitsu, using Fujitsu’s proprietary PROGRESSION tool suite, MDE has successfully brought its 40-year-old, mission-critical school finance system into the modern age. The result is lower costs, reduced risk and greater flexibility.
Virginia Department of Human Resource Management
Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) is responsible for processing and managing personnel, compensation and health benefits data for more than 100,000 active and separated state employees. To meet the operating needs of the department and of state agencies, DHRM had developed a Human Resource system. This legacy system had been modified over the years and presented many unacceptable business and technical risks and challenges.
