Mainframe modernization use cases
Control-M is a powerful tool for organizations that rely on mainframe systems and want to modernize their operations, improve efficiency, and integrate with other platforms.
Accelerate Core Business Cycle
Ensure time-critical mainframe processes—such as end-of-day, month-end, or billing cycles—run on time and without errors, so the business can operate with speed and confidence.
Ensure Compliance and Reduce Risk
Automate controls, data validations, and report generation. Control-M helps organizations meet regulatory and internal audit requirements—without manual effort or missed deadlines.
Improve Customer Experience
Whether processing transactions, onboarding new users, or managing service requests, Control-M ensures mainframe-driven services execute reliably, reducing friction and downtime.
Break Down Operational Silos
Control-M bridges the gap between mainframe and modern platforms (cloud, distributed, containers), enabling seamless business process orchestration across hybrid environments.
Reduce Costs Through Automation
Eliminate labor-intensive scripting and job management, freeing up resources and reducing the cost of maintaining mainframe operations.
Enable Data-Driven Decisions
Automate the flow of mainframe data into analytics platforms, helping business leaders access timely insights without waiting for overnight batch cycles.

Cloud-compatible
Hybrid cloud and mainframe interoperability
For hybrid cloud environments, Control-M bridges the gap between on-prem mainframes and cloud-native systems for end-to-end workflow automation. Out-of-the-box integration support for AWS, Azure, GCP and SaaS platforms enable workloads to move fluidly across environments.
Control-M allows hybrid pipelines that span from a mainframe job to a Spark process on AWS EMR, a Kubernetes pod, or a Snowflake data warehouse in the cloud. With secure file transfer, managed APIs and event-driven automation, it simplifies cross-platform coordination—helping organizations modernize without the headache of abandoning core infrastructure.
Legacy support
Modern Orchestration for Legacy Systems
Control-M ensures comprehensive support for legacy systems with seamless orchestration of mainframe batch jobs alongside modern IT workflows. It natively integrates with IBM z/OS and other mainframe platforms to preserve critical COBOL, JCL and PL/I processes without rewriting code.
Control-M modernizes these legacy workloads by wrapping them in a unified orchestration layer that provides real-time visibility, centralized control, and SLA management across platforms. This helps teams eliminate manual scheduling while continuing to get value from their existing investments.
What customers love about Control-M mainframe automation and modernization
Instead of using three or four different tools
Departments now have multiple scheduling tools between the mainframe, distributed systems, and cloud. Control-M brings all of that, e.g., we have it on a single pane of glass so we can see the exact execution on the mainframe, the execution on the line, and the execution in the cloud.

It is the most stable solution that we have had. It has been working on the mainframe for two years without any problem.
