Data belongs on the mainframe, and new modernization tools are making it easier to give the right people access. “Everyone has an analyst who's not a technical user that needs to get to the data,” explains Greg Weinheimer, product manager with Cloud Software Group’s ibi business unit. “We take care of that piece, and they can just worry about analyzing the data.” Given that 70% of the world’s data resides on mainframes, connectivity is a critical consideration for hybrid environments – and much more.
