AI-assisted development is accelerating application modernization, but modernized applications still need reliable access to the enterprise systems that hold their data. This paper explores why data architecture can become a migration bottleneck and how shared access supports the coexistence of mainframe and cloud applications.

Discover the roles of structured data delivery, file movement, live read/write access, and storage virtualization in a phased modernization strategy. The paper connects these capabilities to PropelZ, FlowZ, Lozen, and Zaac, helping IT leaders plan application changes around data availability, governance, and operational continuity.
