Agentic AI Transforms Mainframe Operations

Alan Shimel talks with Priya Doty and Matt Whitbourne of BMC about how AI is reshaping mainframe operations, DevOps and enterprise automation. Doty and Whitbourne explain that mainframes remain central to mission-critical business systems, but organizations now need trusted data, human oversight and flexible AI models to move from insight to execution. The conversation also explores agentic AI, digital workforces, mainframe modernization, developer skills and why enterprises should adopt AI methodically while preparing the next generation to inherit these systems.
