Over the course of the last 15-20 years, “industry experts” have been proclaiming the death of the mainframe. The reality is that the mainframe continues to thrive and grow and house the majority of the world’s most critical business data.

The real issue we are beginning to experience is a shortage of skills for managing the mainframe. Mainframe DBAs are aging and retiring and new talent is not being trained quick enough. The new generation of IT professionals has a completely different way of thinking and working. The i(Pad,Pod, and Phone) generation has no interest in the acronyms TSO or ISPF. In order for these up and coming professionals to manage the mainframe they will require a new toolset geared towards their way of thinking.

In this webcast, we’ll provide real life examples of z/OS systems management for the next gen mainframer. We’ll also discuss how an integrated role based workspace can help you simply and effectively manage tasks like identifying DB2 performance bottlenecks or performing complex migrations.

Join us to hear real stories about how the Mainframe is leading a revolution in customer experience by breaking barriers to drive business results. We will share examples of how we are helping our customers achieve outstanding results across the enterprise, and how the next generation is leading the revolution that will change how you think about the future and win in the marketplace.
