Integration strategy and modernisation

Connect your mainframe and midrange systems to modern cloud platforms without breaking what already works.

Overview

Most enterprises run critical business logic on z/OS CICS and IBM i while building new services on microservices and AWS. We design integration strategies that let these worlds communicate reliably across on-prem, hybrid and cloud environments.

Our modernisation approach is incremental: we reduce complexity, retire point-to-point links where it makes sense, and introduce patterns like event streaming alongside proven MQ messaging rather than replacing it overnight.

What’s included

  • Integration landscape mapping across legacy and modern platforms
  • Pattern selection: request/reply, publish/subscribe, event streaming
  • MQ and Kafka coexistence and bridging strategy
  • CICS, IBM i and microservice connectivity design
  • Hybrid and AWS connectivity, including MQ on cloud
  • Phased modernisation roadmap with risk assessment

How we work

  1. MapInventory current integrations, owners and dependencies.
  2. PrioritiseIdentify the flows that block agility or carry the most risk.
  3. DesignDefine target patterns and a phased path to reach them.
  4. DeliverImplement or support your team through each phase.

What you get

  • Integration strategy document
  • Target-state integration architecture
  • Phased roadmap with quick wins identified
  • Pattern and standards guide for development teams

Platforms
