Don’t miss it! The second annual Open Mainframe Summit will be hosted digitally on September 22-23! The theme of this year’s Open Mainframe Summit expands beyond the mainframe to highlight influencers with strengths in the areas supporting or leveraging the technology like continuous delivery, edge computing, financial services, and open source.
