NTT DATA becomes the second company globally to
hold both AWS Services and Software competencies for Mainframe
Modernization with AWS
NTT DATA, a digital business and IT services leader, announced
it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Mainframe Migration
Software Competency, further cementing the company’s position as a
leading partner for enabling cost-effective cloud migrations. As an
AWS Premier Consulting Partner, and with an AWS Mainframe Migration
competency, NTT DATA is uniquely qualified to help clients design,
architect, build, migrate and manage applications and workloads on
Amazon Web Services to achieve their cloud Mainframe Migration
goals.
Achieving the AWS Mainframe Migration Software competency
combined with the AWS Mainframe Services competency differentiates
NTT DATA as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides
specialized software and consulting designed to help enterprises
adopt, develop, and deploy complex projects on AWS. To receive the
designation, APN members must possess deep AWS expertise and
deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.
“Outdated legacy IT systems are holding enterprises back from
reaching their full innovation potential,” said Glen Foley, Vice
President, Application Modernization, NTT DATA Services. “By
migrating mainframe applications to the cloud with NTT DATA and
AWS, businesses are able to enhance agility, flexibility and
overall performance, increasing their competitive advantage by
accelerating production and innovation timelines.”
With more than 30 years of production application experience and
more than 1,300 implementations worldwide, NTT DATA’s UniKix
Mainframe Re-hosting services and software help businesses reduce
the costs and complexities associated with migrating legacy systems
and applications. Re-hosting with UniKix allows businesses to
maintain a competitive advantage by keeping pace with evolving
business needs, while extending the life of mission-critical
workloads.
NTT DATA has a tried and tested modernization methodology,
dating back to migrating the first mainframe workloads to Unix back
in the late 1980s, and then once again being among the earliest to
migrate production workloads to AWS in 2017. With unparalleled
experience trusted by leading global enterprises, the company’s
low-risk approach and high-performance replatforming solution help
companies streamline their cloud migrations and improve business
performance while protecting critical IT assets.
NTT DATA’s flexible services help businesses find the right
modernization approaches for their workloads, optimizing IT
infrastructures and resources while reducing risk in the migration
process. Companies can maximize ROI, shifting funds from costly
operating expenses to innovation-generating opportunities, with its
UniKix solution that saves enterprises 20-30% on average for
replatforming costs.
Additional features and services include:
- Most robust replatforming solution for Information Management
System (IMS) workloads, taking full advantage of modern database
technology
- Exceptional replatforming capability for assembler-to-COBOL
automation, accelerating migration and results in reduced technical
debt and a simplified application portfolio
- Improved interoperability for modern applications via
UniKix
- UniKix compiles applications as Java bytecode and runs in a
Java virtual machine
- Optimized for performance equivalent to or surpassing the
mainframe
As a trusted innovation and modernization partner, NTT DATA
offers the strongest professional services support for clients and
partners to ensure migration success, training and enablement
programs, software support, implementation, and operations services
to ensure each implementation project is successful, captures
savings, and delivers lasting value.
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions
from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless
integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the
