I spent a couple of days at the beach with 21CS I chatted with Eduardo J. Ciliendo, CEO of 21CS, at the company’s headquarters in Morehead City to discuss the future of mainframe innovation, the importance of in-office culture, and how 21CS is investing in the next generation of mainframe talent. Our conversation explores 21CS’s evolution from a trusted IBM OEM partner into a company building its own product portfolio, including new capabilities for VSEn, STRATUSn, JCL syntax checking, and AI-native mainframe solutions. Eddie also shares why face-to-face collaboration matters for knowledge transfer, how younger engineering teams are reshaping mainframe tooling, and what customers should expect as 21CS continues to expand its roadmap. Watch the full conversation to learn how 21CS is helping modernize critical mainframe environments while preserving the workloads that businesses still depend on. https://lnkd.in/efcEiizQ
