Don’t be afraid of the Mainframe – Available February 2026 (or earlier)!
Don’t be afraid of the Mainframe – The missing introduction for IT Leaders and Professionals

The new book Don’t Be Afraid of the Mainframe cuts through the noise with 30+ years of hands-on expertise. Whether you’re deciding the platform’s future or defending its present, this book gives you the information you need to make confident strategic decisions.
You’ll discover:
- Why the mainframe processes 70% of global transactions, and why “legacy” doesn’t mean “obsolete”
- The real economics: where costs hide, how licensing works, and what you can control
- Modern capabilities you didn’t know existed: AI, containers, REST APIs, and cloud integration
- Practical frameworks for assessing your platform, applications, and transformation options
- Honest comparisons: when mainframe makes sense, when cloud is better, and how to integrate both
No sales pitch. No vendor bias. Just clear explanations, real-world case studies, and decision frameworks you can use immediately.
