Agentifying the Mainframe

The article advocates for "Agentifying the Mainframe," a strategy to integrate purpose-built AI directly into critical workflows while maintaining the platform's inherent security and resilience. By prioritizing trust over autonomy, this approach positions AI as a governed advisor that extends human expertise rather than replacing specialists, ensuring organizations can safely scale innovation. Through tools like BMC AMI Agentics and "governance by design," companies can make technical expertise accessible without compromising operational control or institutional knowledge within their existing mainframe ecosystem.
