The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) for Mainframe, an extension of the existing AWS MAP program, is designed to help organizations reach their migration goals even faster with AWS services, best practices, tools, and incentives. We provide a three step approach to help you reduce the uncertainty, complexity, and cost of migrating to the cloud.

Through MAP for Mainframe, customers gain access to a comprehensive ecosystem of mainframe technology and professional services competency partners to assist with the migration and modernization process. On average, mainframe customers are realizing a 70%+ reduction in IT infrastructure costs. By migrating from the mainframe to AWS, customers no longer have to grapple with high upgrade and development costs, expensive usage fees, and increasing skill gaps as aging mainframe experts leave the workforce. Instead, customers can enhance their mission critical applications anddata portfolios by taking advantage of the agility, ease of access, and community that exist on the cloud.
