How can IT Leaders improve their DevOps strategy to include the mainframe? In this session, you will: Understand the power of the mainframe in your value stream management efforts. Identify the 3 critical pillars that will elevate your DevOps strategy end-to-end.

Learn how to leverage the tools you already have in place, including the mainframe, to automate, visualize, and orchestrate your DevOps processes from start to finish.
