Are your mainframe test regions overloaded? Do you want your testing approach to be more agile? Are you struggling to adapt mainframe DevOps? Find out how you can adapt your current testing processes and bring them to agile speed at low cost.

Mainframe Test capacity on demand

Find out how you can rapidly assess the status of your mainframe applications to investigate options for future proofing them. We will explain how you can determine portability, complexity and general health of your systems.

Are your mainframe applications ready for the future?

In this session, we will discover and explore recent advances in these common business languages, as well as the latest innovations in tooling that supports COBOL and PL/I applications (and how these work with other languages).

Modernising your PL/I and COBOL applications

Many organizations are full steam ahead with digital transformation initiatives, aimed at delivering better customer experience and meeting the digital economy’s ever-growing demand for availability and serviceability. 

Watch our webinar to hear how the Micro Focus partnership with AWS presents new ways of transforming mainframe workloads using the AWS Mainframe Modernization Service.

Application Modernisation to AWS

The way users need information presenting has changed since the green/characters screens were developed. See how Micro Focus can bridge the gap between the web development team and the mainframe development team allowing mainframe information to be re-presented. Micro Focus can also provide a graphical interface on-the-fly with no coding required. Join Micro Focus to see how this can be achieved.

Mainframe Modernisation - Workflow - 3270 consolidating Screens and Data

Every organisation now has a cloud strategy – looking to benefit from the lower costs and management services available from the Global Cloud Provides such as AWS, Azure and GCP. Mainframe workloads are often the most costly parts of an organisation’s application portfolio and the benefits of getting those workloads to the cloud are strong.

In this session we will take you through the process of how to re-host a mainframe application to the cloud, showing a CICS/COBOL application running in the cloud.

Mainframe Modernisation - Securing Application Access

Ransomware continues to make headlines and security is a major concern for all companies in trying to protect their data.  Join this webinar to get the latest security updates regarding data protection and how to reduce the impact from ransomware and cyber attacks.

Data Protector Ransomware and Security concerns in Data Backup

As organisations look to increase business efficiencies and improve service to their customers, they are turning to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies to provide businesses the ability to accomplish these objectives. But what about data that’s locked up in mainframe/host applications? Accessing this data creates a challenge to RPA solutions. 

Micro Focus provides a range of host integration options enabling fast and scalable integration of host data into these RPA initiatives. Micro Focus provides easy-to-drive interfaces whether RPA developers prefer web services or more traditional application programming interfaces, such as HLLAPI or .NET. In this session, we will show you the options for joining the mainframe to your RPA initiatives.

Mainframe Modernisation - Robotic Process Automation

Micro Focus is committed to providing new functionality to their customers and partners to address the needs around the "new normal". Data Protector provides enterprise protection in a single solution in a flexible and powerful way. Within Data Protector 11, you will find, among other developments, deduplication, online application and storage infrastructure support improvements to answer customers' most exigent needs.

Data Protector 11.0 Technical Preview

Mainframe applications written in the last century were typically architected in a manner where the programs were written in a monolithic fashion with each providing multiple business services and dealing with the mainframe environment such as the transaction manager or database. On the positive side these business processes are performing vital work and are robust and stable.

As organisations move to the digital world, these business services are required to be accessible from the new front-ends. In this session we will show you how to use Micro Focus tools to find those business services in the monolithic code, extract the right code elements and create a new Micro Service that can be deployed in modern architecture.

Turning Monolithic Code Into Micro Services

Digitalisation is driving a demand for more business change of applications, but often the software development lifecycle of the mainframe is a bottleneck to delivering added value to the business. 

In this session we will show how an agile development process, with a DevOps continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) can be deployed to enhance the capabilities of your team to deliver greater business value more frequently.

Bringing DevOps to the Development Process

Corporations rely on 24x7 access to their data to be able to operate and any disruption to the availability of the data can have major consequences. Information database applications such as SAP HANA store and use the data to enable many critical business operations such as order taking, customer interactions, and Human Resources.  However, while some data protection is built into the applications themselves, is it enough should the worst happen and the data is corrupted or lost?

This webinar will examine the different levels of backup protection available and discuss how to restore the systems and data as quickly as possible to get your business back on track, with minimum disruption.

Data Protector: SAP HANA Integration and Application Backup

As organisations look to take advantage of greater direct interaction with their end customers through digitalisation they realise that they need to include the mainframe business applications that enable access to their core data in the plan.

At Micro Focus we understand there are many ways to modernise your mainframe applications and in this session, we will take you through a high level review of these different approaches and the value they can bring to your organisation.

Welcome to the Nordic IAM Executive meeting.

During this two-hour session, we will talk you through why IAM is a key component of your Cloud Transformation. 

We will spend time on the challenges and great possibilities around IAM in a multi-cloud infrastructure and how to meet those via best practice architecture. 
We will also put extra focus on known IAM challenges in a Microsoft Azure infrastructure and how we are able to support your organization around those challenges.

Key takeaways of the event:

•	Identity and Access Management in a multi-cloud infrastructure 
- IAM related challenges of multi-cloud infrastructure
- Architectural best practices:

•	Why centralized – for the complete infrastructure? 
- If silo, lack of identity activity insight            
- If silo, no ability to accumulate risk on a complete identity if it exists in multiple silos
 
•	Micro Focus Identity and Access Management platform co-existing with Microsoft Azure 
- Known challenges can we support customers in when it comes to Azure infrastructures.
- Use cases highlight.
 
•	Gains of interacting with Micro Focus Professional Services

Too much data. Too many threats. Not enough visibility. Modern security operations centers (SOCs) face many hurdles in the race to find and remediate threats before they cause costly breaches. It's time for a new approach to SecOps-one that unites a fragmented ecosystem and matches the right security analytics to the appropriate problems. 

Join out SecOps experts to discover how real-time correlation analytics, combined with supervised and unsupervised machine learning, can quickly and accurately locale threats while reducing response time. We'll show you how to build a next-gen SOC and map your defense to MIRTE ATT&CK for a truly proactive security posture.

Next-gen SOC: Boost Threat Detection with Layered Analytics

Being able to quickly deploy instances of a mainframe application, especially for testing, would greatly accelerate any mainframe application modernisation programme. These deployments can be automated as part of a CI/CD process to enable rapid and continuous testing of application business change, or even as part of a production deployment.

We will show you how a mainframe application can be deployed into a Docker container to be utilised as a test environment to accelerate application change.
