For the first time ever, digitalization is the driving force across the enterprise, according to Advanced's Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer Report.

Organizations aren't just embracing cloud hyperscalers as infrastructure providers - they're inviting them into the critical operations of their businesses with open arms.

After surveying hundreds of enterprise IT leaders across the globe, Advanced found 41% ranked security - including the downstream impact to regulatory compliance, data, and infrastructure management - as the top element taken into account when prioritizing their mainframe modernization strategies.
