What does the Platform As Service and Mainframe Modernisation Kit include?
The Kit delivers a 60+ file digital playbook sent by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (calculators, dashboards, roadmaps) and 20-30 PDF guides (playbooks, runbooks, reference cards), organised into Platinum-Tier centrepieces, Getting-Started, Self-Assessment, Requirements, Models, Processes, Performance, Governance, Sustainment, Advanced Topics and Quick-Reference sections.
Every day you risk costly downtime, regulatory non-compliance and losing contracts because your legacy mainframe cannot keep pace with modern Platform-as-Service demands. If you continue without a clear roadmap, audits will flag outdated architecture, competitors will out-innovate you, and your IT budget will balloon. The Platform As Service and Mainframe Modernisation Kit instantly gives you a structured self-assessment that transforms those risks into a measurable, step-by-step modernisation plan.
