MakeIT Consulting

MakeIT Consulting is an independent IT consulting firm that helps companies optimize their IBM Mainframe environments. Founded in 2007, the company focuses on software development, infrastructure support, and modernization of z/OS systems. Its services include replatforming, cost reduction for mainframe licensing, and introducing modern development practices like DevOps and containerization to traditional mainframe shops.

The firm takes a practical approach: it evaluates existing mainframe setups, identifies areas where license costs have risen, and proposes alternatives. For organizations stuck with green-screen interfaces (ISPF), MakeIT Consulting shows how the mainframe can integrate with modern tools like UrbanCode Deploy and container platforms. They also handle partial or complete application replatforming, guiding clients through the migration process.

MakeIT Consulting is best suited for enterprises that rely on IBM mainframes and want to reduce costs, adopt more agile practices, or gradually move away from the platform. The company is owner-operated, vendor-independent, and works with clients across Europe and the USA. While they also dabble in chatbot development through a related company (melibo.de), their core business remains mainframe consulting.
