Meet John.

He's worked on his company's mainframe system for over 30 years, and today, he's retiring.

The mainframe is built on legacy technologies that are strong and reliable but require very specific skills to maintain.

The company needs the new person to manage the business services running on their mainframe since the mainframe is critical to their corporate strategy, and John's the only one who knows how to maintain it. 

But the company has already found John's successor: this is David.

He's ready to take over critical mainframe functions with zero impact to the business's bottom line.

How?

David's company has Control-M. Control-M integrates every mainframe workload management function into a single intuitive graphical interface, which enables David to quickly ramp up with no interruptions. 

With Control-M, David can quickly and easily automate workflows on the company's mainframe.

He's able to manage workload automation and other related practices, and seamlessly integrate mainframe, distributed, and hybrid applications from Control-M's intuitive GUI.

And, when Catherine, the company's VP of Operations, asks David to provide data from the mainframe for the company's big data initiatives, he's able to help right away.

Because Control-M has the flexibility to manage traditional mainframe activities, support big data projects, and simplify handoffs between DevOps teams. 

Control-M gives David everything he needs to manage workflows and move workloads from his company's mainframe and integrate with the company's distributed systems, modernizing the mainframe, and keeping the business moving toward digital transformation.

And John is able to relax under a palm tree.
