Summary

Wipro's ModerniZ tool, powered by MongoDB, offers a practical and incremental approach to modernizing mainframe data and workloads into cloud-hosted microservices. This helps enterprises increase agility, lower the risk of aging legacy skills, and reduce total cost of ownership. By offloading inquiry services data from the mainframe, businesses can improve response time, scale volume handling, and reduce mainframe TCO. The ModerniZ platform uses Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) to separate read and write operations, making it easier to optimize performance and create a new model that can grow vertically and horizontally. MongoDB's document model and extensive capabilities make it an ideal choice for housing the offloaded "read data model." The joint offering aims to alleviate risks associated with big bang mainframe exit strategies, particularly in financial services, insurance, and retail sectors.
