"Rapidly delivering high-quality applications is vital to a company’s competitive positioning and success. Organizations must hone in on the developer experience, enabling developers to work the way they want and with everything they need at their fingertips, as a positive experience is correlated with accelerated developer velocity and high-quality work. Further, organizations must also acknowledge that database changes are a major delivery bottleneck. By integrating database changes into the DevOps pipeline and processes, organizations can harness the power of mainframe databases while increasing agility and reliability across their applications."

Katie Norton, senior research analyst, DevOps, at IDC
