10 Institutional Disruptors: Perception What is your perception of the industry-wide future of the mainframe? Why is your company planning to eliminate the mainframe or decrease MIPS? The MF platform will grow and attract new workloads Mgmt perception mainframe is outdated 57% 49% 50% 41% 43% 46% 45% The MF platform will continue as a viable long term platform, but limited to a legacy platform. It will not attract new workloads. The MF platform is not viable in the general market and most users should consider exit strategies in the next 5 years IBM software costs Non-mainframe systems can host workloads for Staffing/skills shortage 39% 38% 52% 6% 5% 8% 4% 2% 2% Other Cost of hardware 38% n=1,243 N=1,050 N=1,194 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% N= 173 Source: BMC Software 2014 Annual Mainframe Survey 10
