Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe now has 75 conformant extension products!!! 75 years is a Diamond Wedding Anniversary, so this is a great milestone to reach with Zowe and its vendor plugin community.

zowe.org delivers a great set of open source software to allow users to work with their mainframe using simple and familiar interfaces. The conformance program lets others provide extensions to the core components to grow the scope of Zowe’s reach across IBMZ runtimes like CICS, Db2, IMS and mq as well as vendor products from ASG Technologies, BMC SoftwareBroadcom Mainframe SoftwareIBMMicro FocusRocket Software and Phoenix Software International.

For those of you who haven’t checked out how Zowe is becoming the “New face of the Mainframe,” please visit zowe.org.

THANK YOU to everyone in the community for helping be part of Zowe’s success and shape the future of the mainframe for todays’ and tomorrows’ users.
