IMS Training Services
SYS-ED offers challenging "hands-on" IMS training for motivated programmers who want to be real pros and are willing to work. Our 25+ years experience as IMS consultants in systems programming, database administration, and application development provides us with a unique combination of historical perspective and the IBM mainframe systems software skillset to teach a new generation of IT personnel. We worked on several sizable first generation IMS projects, when the source code and program logic was available; it no longer is. This knowledge provides us with a unique insight to explain and draw diagrams which teach why the software works or in some case doesn’t work as it should. That is why IBM and other software companies have used SYS-ED instructors to teach their current generation of software developers. Bottom line, our “educational consultancy” courses are essential to maintaining an existing IMS system, retrofitting utilities and integrating IMS to web enablement technologies.

Our experienced instructors specialize in using real-life programs and design problems. Whether it's IMS Database Design, IMS DB DL/1 Application Programming, IMS DC & Message Format Services Programming, IMS Performance & Tuning, IMS Recovery and Restart or IMS Utilities, we encourage students to bring in the specs of their own projects for discussion and analysis. We also offer the hard to find add-on products and third party utilities such as IMS File-AID, ADF-II, IMS MTO, and Xpediter. And yes, we even offer a IMS Systems Programmer training program!

The IMS course workbooks and training aids that we provide as part of our instructor-led courses are unique. They reflect far more than simply the vendor documentation. Our content and diagrams reflect a careful examination of the program logic, source code, and sample programs. And in this day and age with inter mixing and hybrid implementations of open standards and IBM systems software, reference material derived from consulting projects, which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to effective knowledge transfer.

Grow Your Own IMS Programmers

Over the past year, we have had inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered IMS courses for IT professionals.

The typical comments were:
1. That it is extremely difficult to find IMS training which develops the specialized skills needed for application development and maintenance tasks.
2. That there is a scarcity of fast-track IMS courses, 5 or fewer days in duration, geared to Fortune 1000 corporations and their employees.
3. That a high percentage of restricted enrollment IMS courses are cancelled.

In response to these questions:		  
Programming Courses Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple levels of IMS training: IMS Fundamentals, DB/DL/1 Application Programming, and tailored modules.

Instructor-led IMS Courses IMS Training
Programming Languages Yes, since 1980, SYS-ED has taught IMS programming and we offer fast-track IMS courses and tailored IMS training programs (aka educational consultancy).

IMS Training in New York

IMS Courses in New York
SYS-ED's IMS courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" IMS training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their IMS staffing requirements and acquire specialized IMS skillsets.1

Courseware
SYS-ED's IMS courseware is highly acclaimed in the IT field.  We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs, and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world IMS. Our IMS curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated training programs on z/OS and third party emulation workbench/platforms.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide world class IMS training for highly motivated IT professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience with IMS in the mainframe environment - operating systems, programming languages, 3rd party utilities/development aids, and system software. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced materials. After a course, they are available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED IMS Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED mainframe course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is only allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the correct learning path.

IMS Training in New York or at Your Office
SYS-ED IMS courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in New York City and in conjunction with training partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored mainframe training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site mainframe courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the mainframe training we offer in New York city.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147, 48, 49 or register online.
