For decades, Europe's biggest companies, especially in banking, insurance, government, and telecommunications, have used mainframes to run mission-critical operations because they are so stable, secure, and reliable. Over time, the need for modernization grew as digital transformation, cloud adoption, AI integration, and open-data initiatives sped up. By the middle of the 2010s, these changes had become strategic and business-driven, moving away from the early cost-focused rehosting efforts of the 2000s. Hybrid and multi-cloud environments, modular modernization frameworks, and regulatory compliance under GDPR, DORA, and the European Cybersecurity Act now define the market, ensuring that legacy systems coexist seamlessly with AI-enabled analytics, open banking, and citizen-centric services.
The latest trends in European modernization focus on using hybrid strategies, AI-driven automation, and sector-specific projects that are in line with regulatory and sustainability goals. Companies use APIs, containerization, and tools from IBM, Micro Focus, and others to connect old mainframes to cloud platforms. AI-assisted code conversion helps fill in skill gaps in the workforce and speeds up project timelines. IBM, Capgemini, Atos, and Sopra Steria are some of the biggest OEMs and integrators that use phased, risk-balanced modernization strategies. They often work with hyperscalers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Regulatory knowledge, automation ability, and ecosystem collaboration are now what drive competition. Niche players and startups are bringing specialized solutions to the market, making the European mainframe modernization market a mature, innovation-driven, and compliance-focused place.

Country Outlook
Large industrial companies, banks, and public sector organizations that want to change, not get rid of, their legacy systems that support mission-critical workloads are driving Germany's mainframe modernization market. A large installed base of mainframes, a lack of skilled workers, regulatory and compliance pressures, and the Mittelstand's need for digitalization are all important factors that support a practical, step-by-step approach to modernization. Trends stress "modernize around" strategies, which means keeping core functions while updating interfaces, using APIs, integrating hybrid clouds, automating processes, and using AI to help with code modernization. There is competition in the market from global IT services companies like Capgemini, DXC Technology, and Infosys, as well as from local companies like T-Systems. German customers prefer vendors with a strong local presence, knowledge of regulations, and proven modernization frameworks. Niche consultancies meet specific needs for automation and mainframe preservation.
