As your most experienced mainframe developers leave the workforce, your next-gen staff must understand the complex applications they’re taking over to maintain and evolve while accelerating development and delivery to meet increasing business and customer demands.
Adopting modern open-source interfaces, tools, and languages that next-gen developers are familiar with is an important step. For example, Zowe equips your team with a modern application development framework that includes a virtual desktop. Zowe also provides a VS Code extension, CLI and scripting, and an API mediation layer — all of which aid your efforts to modernize mainframe development and support mainframe DevOps.
Still, these free resources can potentially open your organization to security and compliance risks, not to mention time-consuming maintenance that may fall below your organization’s standards for issue resolution.
Rocket Support for Zowe ensures your mainframe developers have access to these interfaces, tools, and languages while providing 24x7 support and security assurance from a single vendor. In addition to modern interfaces that enable any developer to work on the mainframe, you gain access to exclusive virtual desktop applications through Rocket Utility Pack for Zowe — similar to built-in apps that come with any operating system.
Paired with Rocket Open AppDev for Z, a set of over 30 open-source languages and tools, Rocket Support for Zowe can expand your supported open-source ecosystem even more with the latest open-source DevOps tools and languages.
