Mainframe DevOps, delivered by people who work on z/OS
Your mainframe runs the business. It shouldn’t run on a separate toolchain, a separate workflow, and a shrinking pool of people who remember how the build works. We bring Git, automated builds, and modern deployment to z/OS — without flattening the discipline that got your systems this far.
Six services for the z/OS delivery pipeline
Every engagement below is delivered directly by working mainframe consultants — not subcontracted, not staffed with generalists learning z/OS on your project. Looking for IBM ELM training? That’s its own program — see the Training page.
Endevor to Git
Move off Endevor to Git and IBM Dependency Based Build while preserving your promotion path — and stepping off Broadcom’s renewal escalator.
Explore Endevor migrations → MigrationLibrarian / Panvalet to Git
The same disciplined migration path for CA Librarian and CA Panvalet shops — legacy SCMs with even fewer modernization options than Endevor.
Explore Librarian & Panvalet → ImplementationIBM DevOps Deploy
Workflow-driven deployment automation across mainframe and distributed platforms in one tool — implemented, configured, and handed over working.
Explore DevOps Deploy → ImplementationIBM Wazi Deploy
Scripted, Git-native z/OS deployment that lives inside your pipeline. The natural next step after a DBB build — packaged, promoted, auditable.
Explore Wazi Deploy → ImplementationIDz Implementation Services
Rollout, licensing, performance tuning, and adoption of IBM Developer for z/OS — so the IDE your company bought actually gets used.
Explore IDz services → IntegrationCI/CD Pipeline Integration
Wire your z/OS builds and deployments into the pipeline you already run — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab runners, or Azure DevOps agents — so mainframe changes flow through the same gates as everything else.
Explore pipeline integration →Three pressures, one direction
The talent cliff
The developers replacing retiring COBOL veterans have never opened an ISPF panel — but they know Git, pull requests, and pipelines. Meeting them where they are is cheaper than training them backwards.
The licensing escalator
Broadcom’s CA mainframe contracts carry annual escalators that compound — the cost of standing still on Endevor, Librarian, or Panvalet rises every renewal, while a migration is a one-time cost.
The isolation tax
A mainframe team on its own toolchain can’t share CI/CD, code review, or security scanning with the rest of engineering. Every year the gap stays open, it gets more expensive to close.
We publish what we learn in the field
Twenty years of working notes from real z/OS engagements — the same knowledge we bring to yours.
Take the z/OS DevOps maturity assessment
Find out where your shop actually stands
A short self-assessment across source control, build, deployment, and testing practice — scored against what we see across real mainframe shops. You get a report; we get to skip the generic discovery call.
Tell us what’s running on your mainframe and what’s slowing it down. We’ll tell you what to modernize first — and what to leave alone.
