The facts are readily available. Mainframe growth is undeniable. And will be for decades to come. Will weak banks foolishly buy what airline magazines are selling? Of course. Bad decisions are made in the business world daily. Ms Hovsepian should be more concerned with her company (Microfocus part) desperately trying to reverse engineer CICS so they can justify their decision to partner with Amazon Web Services.

Ms Hovsepian didn't say the mainframe is dying; she said a lot of banks (repeat banks) are considering (repeat considering) moving to the cloud. (To be fair, it sounds like she made the same mistake.
