Your mainframe is reliable—but it’s not agile.
Mission-critical. Decades old. Still running the business—but increasingly difficult to evolve. While your teams push for cloud, APIs, and real-time data, the mainframe keeps pulling everything back to batch, brittle, and siloed.

You don’t have to rip and replace. You just have to rethink.
At Inventive, we help you unlock the value inside your mainframe systems while extending them into modern architectures. Whether you’re integrating APIs, offloading workloads, or refactoring components, we modernize with precision—not disruption.

Bridge legacy and modern—securely, strategically, and incrementally.
Our approach combines real-time integration (REST/JSON over legacy), microservice encapsulation, low-risk rehosting, and hybrid cloud orchestration. We support COBOL, IMS, VSAM, CICS—and integrate them into your broader data and application ecosystem.

From black box to business driver.
One global insurer exposed policy and claims logic via secure APIs in 10 weeks, enabling digital portals and mobile apps without touching core code. Another saved $2.4M annually by offloading analytics workloads to the cloud—while keeping transactional systems on-prem.

Your mainframe isn’t the problem. It’s how you connect it.
With Inventive, modernization isn’t a gamble—it’s a roadmap. Let’s evolve what works without risking what can’t fail.

• Your mainframe developer just retired––and so did their backup.
• You're spending millions on servers older than your CRM.
• Integration with cloud services is... theoretical at best.
