Is the mainframe dead? There certainly are insurance companies that wish that statement was true, but the truth of the matter is mainframes are alive, well and living in an office next to a bunch of metal file cabinets.
Attendees at a symposium of insurers put on by the Ward Group were asked the mainframe question and nearly half (45 percent) stated that no, the mainframe is not dead.
Legacy systems and the mainframe always are hot topics for discussion, whether it involves technology leaders or those on the business side. The Ward symposium brought both sides together to discuss operational issues affecting their companies and to highlight trends of high-performance companies, according to Betty Cornelius, director of marketing and corporate services for Ward Group.
