We Love the Mainframe
The last thing you need is another report telling you where cost and optimization problems are in your environment but then leaves you with the continuous, manual monitoring and heavy lifting to fix it. You manually write code, move work around, wade through SCRT reports, continuously monitor peak usage and finally analyze invoices 30 days later to see if anything worked.
That’s a bit like whack-a-mole.
We believe MLC cost reduction strategies can be better. By leveraging the mainframe’s reputation of excellence, we deliver new ways to reduce mainframe software license fees.
