Quick innovation while modernizing investments is critical
Enterprises embark upon digital transformation and a journey to cloud-native because of business goals. Cloud Paks pave the way for the enterprise to move to cloud, giving them the ability to add new features quickly or scale up or down depending on changes in demand, as well as better data security and lower costs.
The benefits of this approach
Protect your existing investments
Optimize your existing implementations. A trade up gives you credit for your existing investment in WebSphere. You can move to another WebSphere edition or to an orchestrated container platform.
Mitigate investment risk
Simplify procurement and future-proof your modernization process. Leverage trade-ups for flexible deployment to make the most of your existing investments and gain access to new tools in the future.
Prepare for anything
Access new bundled products as you need them, without going through a new procurement process. Get access to capabilities as they’re created. Optimize entitlements before, during and after migration.
