How PropelZ™ Eliminates ETL and Custom Coding
For enterprises running IDMS databases, integrating data into cloud, AI, and analytics platforms has traditionally required complex ETL processes and custom coding — slowing down modernization and increasing costs. PropelZ changes that. PropelZ unlocks IDMS data for your modernization efforts by providing a simple, no-code way to move IDMS data from the mainframe to any cloud or analytics platform — without ETL, manual coding, or failed connectors.
The Challenge: IDMS Data Access for Modernization
IDMS databases power mission-critical workloads across industries, but organizations struggle with:
- Lack of Native IDMS-to-Cloud Connectivity: Moving IDMS data to Databricks, BigQuery, Snowflake, and other platforms often requires extensive custom scripts.
- Failure of Existing Connectors: Many third-party IDMS connectors fail to deliver reliable data extraction, leading to abandoned projects.
- Dependence on ETL and Manual Coding: Traditional approaches require time-consuming, costly development work to extract, format, and transfer data.
