Demographic
The Arcati Mainframe User Survey is the industry’s most comprehensive, vendor-neutral look at the state of the mainframe.
While most questions are optional, demographic questions are required to help us better understand the diverse global community and identify key trends shaping our industry.
Because it’s thorough—designed to capture the full picture—the survey may take up to 30 minutes to complete. Your insights directly influence the annual Arcati Mainframe Report, used by professionals, vendors, and analysts worldwide.
At the end, you’ll also have an opportunity to submit a Round One nomination for the 2026 Influential Mainframers. General nominations will reopen in February.
