Recognition in a changing modernization landscape

The 2026 ISG report highlights a significant shift in how enterprises approach mainframe modernization. Rather than viewing modernizationas a one-time migration, organizations are increasingly adopting long-term, incremental transformation strategies that prioritize stability, governance, and adaptability.

This evolution is driven by a combination of factors, including skills shortages, regulatory requirements, and the need to integratelegacy systems with modern, cloud-native architectures. As a result, enterprises are placing greater emphasis on solutions that enable controlled, low-risk modernization while maintaining business continuity.

In this context, ISG identifies leaders as providers that can deliver structured, repeatable modernization outcomes at scale, while supporting hybrid environments and multiple transformation paths.

“Every enterprise we speak with today is under pressure to modernize. Fast, with less risk, and with clearer outcomes. That’s exactly where we focus. This recognition reflects our commitment to helping customers navigate complexity with confidence, turning modernization into a catalyst for long-term innovation and growth.” – Chad Jones, CRO of Astadia, an Amdocs Company
