LzLabs and Astadia Announce Mainframe Transformation Partnership

6 October 2020 by Ben Twomey

Collaboration will support enterprises looking to embark on a mainframe modernization journey with the LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe®

Zurich, 06 October 2020 –  LzLabs today announced that it has signed a Teaming Agreement with Astadia, the market leading mainframe modernization consulting and systems integration boutique.

Through this new partnership, LzLabs and Astadia will join forces to help customers move away from mainframe environments and embrace the potential of legacy application modernization.

With an initial focus on North America, the partnership will focus on mainframe to x86 and cloud rehosting projects and will support the increased market demand for migration of legacy applications to cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform.

As organizations seek to integrate legacy applications with modern enterprise computing practices based on Linux and in the cloud, Astadia and LzLabs customers now have the option to migrate applications, without recompilation or data reformatting, to LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe (LzSDM). They are able to do so even without access to original source code – the absence of which is a significant barrier for companies considering traditional migration methods.

Once migrated to LzSDM, mainframe workloads benefit from the unparalleled flexibility, reliability, and availability of cloud platforms, and customers gain the agility benefits of managing these applications using modern DevOps orchestration tools.

Enterprises also benefit from LzSDM’s unique ability to allow mainframe and rehosted applications on open systems to co-exist and interoperate, reducing disruption and risk. In addition, incremental application modernization opportunities and integrated compilation options within LzSDM help companies to maintain applications more easily and rewrite parts of them in new languages.

As part of the agreement, Astadia will provide systems integration and modernization services from initial assessment, through to discovery and, ultimately, taking customers into production on LzSDM.

“As more companies look to rehost mainframe workload to the cloud, it was essential for us at LzLabs, to work with a great implementation and managed services partner”, said Mark Cresswell CEO of LzLabs. “Astadia’s strong technical vision and leadership, and long history of delivering successful workload rehosting outcomes, will ensure our joint customers can undertake these projects with confidence” he continued.

Scott G. Silk, Chairman and CEO, Astadia said: “We are delighted to be working with LzLabs to continue our mission to maximize the impact and minimize the risks of our mutual clients’ journey from legacy systems to the cloud. By combining our history and pedigree of successful mainframe migration projects with LzLabs’ unique technology offerings, we look forward to helping more organizations capitalize on the benefits of cloud IT ecosystems”

LzLabs signs agreement with Capgemini’s Business Unit Spain to drive mainframe application modernization for clients

19 March 2020 by Ben Twomey

Systems integration agreement supports the customer journey from mainframe to open systems and the cloud

Zurich, 19 March 2020 – LzLabs today announced that it has signed an agreement with Capgemini’s Business Unit Spain, part of the Capgemini Group, a global leader in consulting, consulting services and digital transformation, to support its customers in their implementation of LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe® (LzSDM®).

As part of the agreement, Capgemini’s Business Unit Spain will provide technical systems integration services on joint projects with LzLabs to support customers throughout their mainframe migration journey to the cloud. Their services will support qualification and assessment, through to discovery and, ultimately, taking customers into production on LzSDM.

Many of the world’s largest enterprises have struggled to incorporate legacy mainframe applications and data into their “cloud-first” initiatives. One aim of this agreement is to help customers become cloud-enabled at their core. Using LzSDM, customers now have the option to migrate applications, without recompilation or data reformatting, to architectures such as the Capgemini Cloud Platform.

Once migrated to LzSDM, customers gain the agility benefits of managing their legacy mainframe applications using modern DevOps orchestration tools. Enterprises also benefit from LzSDM’s unique ability to allow mainframe and rehosted applications on Open Systems to co-exist and interoperate. In addition, incremental application modernization opportunities and integrated compilation options within LzSDM enable tangible acceleration of application maintenance as well as re-write initiatives.

LzLabs and Capgemini have a number of joint LzSDM engagements currently in progress. As the latest LzLabs global strategic partner, Capgemini joins a growing number of global systems integrators in collaborating with LzLabs to deliver open innovation for organizations reliant on applications currently residing on mainframes.

“We are excited to partner with global leaders in systems integration such as Capgemini, who are truly aligned in supporting our mission to help customers become cloud-enabled at their core.” Said Mark Cresswell, CEO, LzLabs. “We already have a number of joint projects in progress and are delighted to be able to offer customers the unparalleled level of expertise that Capgemini is renowned for”, he continued.

“This partnership will be very useful for our clients, who demand the best solutions to be able to move to into a new agile world. Lzlabs and Capgemini have a great opportunity to offer the best solution in efficiency and agility in a world moving to the cloud”, said Jesús Garrán, COO of the Spain Business Unit, Capgemini.
