Continuous Discipline
We're always on the lookout for best practices, input, perspective, wisdom, anything that helps us keep dev teams together working towards a common goal - in particular, maintaining order and high function in an enterprise application.

We found some helpful pointers in "Why You Should Care About Software Architecture", an article we found and highlighted in our Heads Up section down below. 

If you manage a legacy IBM i midrange application, and advanced code analysis capabilities interests you, register now for our June 15th webinar CM evolveIT for IBM iOur previous webinar Latest Advances in IBM Enterprise Impact Analysis is also worth a look, available for streaming anytime.

Meanwhile, look down below for article links on the "Continuous Disciplines", AI, and ransomware.

Survey
The Results Are In: Our Mainframe Software and Database Survey
We exhibited at SHARE Dallas 2022 back in late March, and fortunately, many of the attendees took a few minutes to fill out our survey asking which technologies they use to manage their enterprise mainframes.

We think the results are interesting. We thought you would like a look, too.

Heads Up
Why You Should Care About Software Architecture
Getting team buy-in for architecture practices can be a challenge, but once you get there the rewards are substantial. 

InfoQ argues that selling the benefits of an architecture practice and making the granular steps explicit and understandable can go a long way to getting that all-important buy-in.

Modern architecture practice like Continuous Architecture or Evolutionary Architecture can help you get the job done even better, and help you reap the ample rewards of a disciplined system and a more sustainable software product.

Read more about the challenges and benefits in their recent article.

CM evolveIT Case Studies
No Longer "at Sea" with Modernization

Migrating off the mainframe has to be done right. For a leading ocean transportation company and an expert in maritime logistics and planning, time was short, resources limited, and success was crucial.

Addressing Goliath Application Modernization

A huge government agency was faced with the daunting task of modernizing an application with over 250 million lines of code built up over 40 years. CM evolveIT was a perfect fit for the task.
