It's a magic salesman word.
A few years ago, it meant moving the mainframe workload to PC using a PC
based Cobol. Later it meant moving to the cloud.
Anytime you hear the word, it means "I have some snake oil to sell you
where I can get rich even if the project fails."
Be aware that while it sounds almost the same, the term "Application
Modernization" usually means good/legitimate things like adding a web
front-end or a better database back-end.
"Mainframe Modernization" is bad, "Application Modernization" is good.
(Normally.)

Does anyone out there know what is meant by the expression "Mainframe
Modernization' '? It seems to be catching on with the Bobs but when you
ask exactly how they propose to modernize their systems all you get is
silence. As in if you don"know we shouldn't even be talking about it.
Any ideas ? Or is it just more BS like 'cloud' or 'devops'?
