As organizations across mainframe, enterprise IT, and emerging technologies evolve, the need for continuous learning and team development has never been greater. While SHARE conferences deliver significant value in a single week, many organizations are looking for ways to convert conference learning into sustained organizational growth.

SHARE’s Corporate Advantage Membership brings together training, team enablement, and conference value into one streamlined offering — helping organizations maximize both their investment and their impact.

Keeping Skills Current

One of the standout benefits of the Corporate Advantage Membership is access to continuous, practitioner-led learning through the SHARE’d Knowledge platform.

With 10 seats included in the membership and the ability to expand access across your team, organizations can ensure multiple team members stay current on the topics shaping today’s mainframe landscape.

From modernization and security to AI and data management, this ongoing approach helps professionals not only keep up — but stay ahead. Organizations that rely solely on annual training events risk falling behind as technologies, security requirements, and industry best practices evolve throughout the year.

Built-In Value for Training and Conferences

Training budgets are always under pressure, and organizations are looking for ways to do more with less.

With Corporate Advantage Membership, companies gain access to bundled value — combining learning platform seats with meaningful discounts on SHARE conference registrations. With 10 included seats for team-wide training and the flexibility to expand access as needed, organizations can scale development efforts more effectively while reducing overall training costs.

This approach makes it easier to send more team members to events while maintaining a consistent investment in skill development.

A Scalable Approach to Team Development

Unlike one-off training opportunities, the Corporate Advantage model is designed for team-wide impact.

By enabling multiple employees access to resources simultaneously, organizations can build shared knowledge across roles and functions. Developers, system programmers, architects, and security professionals can all benefit, creating an aligned and capable workforce.

This approach also supports long-term workforce development, helping organizations prepare for knowledge transfer and future skill gaps.

With experienced mainframe professionals retiring, organizations will increasingly compete for IT talent. Organizations that actively invest in developing technical talent are better equipped to adapt to change, drive innovation, and capitalize on new opportunities as the industry evolves.

Access to Real-World Insights and Community Expertise

The value of SHARE extends beyond content. It lies in the community of practitioners and experts who contribute real-world insights and experiences.

Corporate Advantage Membership helps ensure your team doesn't miss out on the conversations, emerging trends, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing that shape the future of the mainframe and enterprise IT landscape.

Teams will have access to this ecosystem year-round, and the insights they learn will help them make more informed decisions. Without regular exposure to peers and practitioners, it's easy to miss emerging trends, new approaches, and lessons learned that could help solve today's challenges more efficiently.

Extend the Impact of SHARE Conference Learning

SHARE conferences are a cornerstone of professional growth, but their impact doesn't have to end when the event concludes. Too often, conference insights fade once attendees return to their day-to-day responsibilities.

With Corporate Advantage Membership, organizations can extend that value by reinforcing learning before and after the conference. More team members are able to participate and have access to peer-led knowledge continuously, which creates a learning cycle that amplifies the return on every session attended.

A Smarter Way to Invest in Your Team

The organizations that will thrive in the years ahead are those investing in their people today. As mainframe modernization, AI, cybersecurity, and post-quantum readiness continue to reshape enterprise IT, standing still is no longer an option. Corporate Advantage Membership helps ensure your team has the knowledge, connections, and resources they need to stay ahead.
