It’s that time again.
Our planned release date for the Arcati Mainframe Navigator is February 18, 2025.
Updates to Arcati for 2025
This year’s Mainframe User Survey is more comprehensive, forward-looking, and better tailored to capturing the evolving role of mainframes in modern IT environments. It reflects the growing complexity of mainframe ecosystems and the need for more granular data to inform strategies for optimization, innovation, and workforce development.
The Strategy Section will include written articles and original video. We will interview Mainframe Thought Leaders to gain their perspective on the trends revealed in our Survey. The Mainframe Vendor Directory is your go-to reference for finding vendors, consultants, and service providers who empower your mainframe operations. It’s designed to connect you with the right experts to optimize your mainframe environment.
How can you get involved?
Take the annual user survey. All mainframe professionals are invited to complete this 10-minute survey. All respondents completing the survey before Friday 10 January will receive early access to the survey results.
Get in the Vendor Directory. Vendors, consultants, and service providers can apply for a FREE entry in the vendor directory section by completing this form.
Purchase an Ad, publish a Paper, or become a Sponsor. As in previous years, there is an opportunity for organizations to sponsor the Arcati Mainframe Navigator, take out an ad, or contribute an article and survey question. Click here for advertising information.
More than 20,000 mainframe professionals downloaded the Yearbook this year and that number is expected to grow to over 30,000 in 2025 thanks to a new partnership with Planet Mainframe.
