Mainframe Skills Shortage: How to Prepare For and Manage an Impending Crisis

by Gabriele Piccoli

This month's issue of Cutter Benchmark Review presents another great example of what we truly aim to do here -- identify and tackle emerging issues of interest to you and, using fresh data and expert contributions, develop actionable guidelines to manage them. As with most focused issues of CBR, I am not a firsthand expert on the topic. Be that as it may, I do read the press and a variety of publications and typically am familiar with emerging trends. I can say, though, that until we contacted our expert contributors for this issue, I had not thought or heard much about what is shaping up as an impending crisis in the availability of mainframe skills -- and it seems that many of our respondents hadn't grasped the potential of this problem either.
