Stream: Capacity & Performance
Time: 15:30 - 16:15
The shift from mainframe-based, on-premises performance and capacity solutions to agile, cloud-native SaaS platforms marks a bold step into the future of IT operations. What was once bound to hardware, batch reports, and static capacity planning is now reimagined as a near real-time, scalable, and user-friendly experience in the cloud. This transformation unlocks significant advantages: instant access to performance insights, automated updates, zero infrastructure overhead, and the freedom to scale with demand — all while reducing total cost of ownership. SaaS brings accessibility and innovation to the forefront, allowing teams to focus on action, not administration. Crucially, in a world increasingly shaped by regulatory expectations and security requirements, the move to SaaS must also prioritize trust and compliance. Certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) are no longer optional—they are essential. They ensure the platform meets rigorous standards for data protection, availability, and resilience, which are vital for regulated industries and mission-critical systems. Of course, the journey isn’t without its challenges. Data governance, legacy integration, and the migration of historical performance data must be handled with precision. But the benefits are clear: lower CapEx, increased agility, and a shift from reactive troubleshooting to strategic, value-driven optimization. To bring this journey to life, Henrik Lange from Kyndryl will share firsthand insights from the field, highlighting transformation strategies, why Kryndyl chose to outsource their capacity and performance solution and lessons learned. He’ll be joined by Kim Mortensen from SMT Data. Together, they’ll explore how enterprises can confidently move from mainframe to SaaS—while meeting the highest standards of security, compliance, and operational excellence.
