How it works Migrating and modernizing your underlying databases and applications allows you to be more efficient, agile and responsive to business needs, rather than on maintaining your legacy. Taking an incremental approach to modernization enables your business to achieve business value faster. Kyndryl and Microsoft offer three paths to success, all of which can be completed in days or weeks.

Path 1: Integrate with your mainframe Modernize your apps, integrate your data, and evolve your data warehouse into a modern cloud data estate.

Path 2: Modernize on your mainframe Develop modern app solutions using low-code or no-code development tools.

Path 3: Migrate off your mainframe Lift and shift completely to the cloud—or transition over time following Path 1 or Path 2.
