Compuware Xpediter Software

Compuware Xpediter software is a set of developer productivity tools in the IBM mainframe environment which accelerates the coding and debugging of programs and automates the analysis, testing process, and implementation of applications.

The role and advantages associated with Xpediter are:

• An accurate representation of application functionality.
• Identification of high risk code in conjunction with the utilization of maintainability metrics.
• Intra and inter application impact analysis which designates change points for enhancements and corrections to be made in business processes and data flows.
• Programs intercept and trapping for the COBOL, PL/1, and C languages or HLASM applications; this capability is independent as to where the program has been initiated or where the program is executing.
• Code execution reports for assessing test related risk.
• Documentation of the testing process.

Xpediter Training by SYS-ED

Since 1980, SYS-ED has been helping organizations meet their operational and staffing requirements with Xpediter - TSO, CICS, and DB2. Our staff of system consultants are experts with Xpediter and the Compuware family of products and IBM system software.

We have 30 years experience in coding, debugging, and providing maintenance support on IBM mainframe systems with legacy programming languages and VSAM, CICS TS and DB2. This been there done that experience provides us with the privileged perspective from which to teach the industry standard Xpediter facilities and provide invaluable performance and troubleshooting guidelines. We refer it to as educational consultancy.

If you’re shop is utilizing a combination of mainframe utilities and development tools from the Big 3: Compuware, Computer Associates, and IBM, then SYS-ED's integrated workshops and examples will make a significant difference in training your next generation of mainframe programmers. They will learn not just how to perform specific Xpediter tasks; but will receive a foundation in the underlying mainframe system software. Additional tailored workshops can be selected from the CETi courseware library.

SYS-ED does not sell software; we only teach! And towards this end, we apply the full complement of training medium to help IT professionals learn. In our courses, students learn by doing; one-third of their class time will be spent hands-on with Xpediter on our z/OS system. Each student receives a comprehensive course hand-out and tailored training aids. After a course is over, students are welcome to ask the inevitable questions which come up back on the job.

Mainframe Catalog

Courseware
SYS-ED's mainframe development tools and utilities 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 mainframe information technology. Our mainframe curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated training programs on z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, 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 mainframe training for 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 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.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Mainframe 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 background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.

Mainframe Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED mainframe courses are held at our training center in midtown Manhattan and in conjunction with CETi Technology 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.
