Chief Wine Officer, Thoughtworks & AWS invite you to an evening of exclusive insights, fine dining, and guided wine tasting at a London five-star venue. You and your executive leaders will hear from Madhavi Reddy, Director of Worldwide Mainframe Sales at AWS and Shodhan Sheth, Head of Enterprise Modernization, Platforms & Cloud at Thoughtworks about how to successfully modernise your mainframe and reap big rewards with careful strategic planning. Your evening’s wine tasting will be guided by globally acclaimed Master of Wine, Anne Krebiehl. Can we save you a seat?
Mainframes are at the heart of many businesses. But over time they have become costly, rigid and complex. Most organisations are finding them to be a stumbling block preventing overall success; but there is a way forward. Market leaders are transforming with a staggered approach that derisks the modernisation process, driving business objectives with benefits to cost, agility and time to market.
Key discussion points
- The balance between cost, time and value when it comes to modernising mainframe systems
- How a holistic approach to transformation yields results
- Derisking the processes of modernisation, migration and transformation
This exclusive networking experience is open to 10 technology and business leaders from organisations with an interest in mainframe modernisation. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director – but places fill fast, so secure yours today.
