In this session, I would d like to explore strategies for breaking down data silos within Mainframe systems to accelerate application development, with a focus on:

1. Data virtualization and visualization – enabling easier access and better insights.

2. Right-sizing data for specific use cases – supporting unit testing and improving code coverage.

3. Cloudification of data – facilitating faster time-to-market and cost efficiency.

4. Leveraging APIs – to unlock and integrate Mainframe data more effectively.
