Podcast Description

Enterprise modernization is accelerating — but many initiatives still stall for one simple reason: data access.

In this episode of the Skyward Data Podcast, VirtualZ joins Progress Software to explore how organizations are modernizing data access across hybrid environments without disrupting the systems that run their business.

Dennis Bennett, Principal Sales Engineer at Progress, joins Vince Re, Co-Founder and CTO of VirtualZ, and Dustin Froyum, Co-Founder of VirtualZ, to discuss how trusted enterprise connectivity and modern data innovation work together to deliver secure, high-performance data integration.

The conversation covers how organizations are transforming complex legacy data structures — including mainframe formats like VSAM — into modern, SQL-ready data that can power cloud databases, analytics platforms, and AI initiatives.

You’ll learn:

• Why data access has become the real modernization bottleneck

• How hybrid architectures can support modern analytics without disrupting production systems
• The role of high-performance enterprise connectivity in scalable data integration
• How legacy data structures can be transformed for modern platforms

For architects, data leaders, and modernization teams navigating hybrid IT environments, this discussion provides practical insight into building a more flexible and resilient enterprise data architecture.
