Since 1980, SYS-ED has been doing application development and consulting on mainframe systems software, DB2, IDMS (in conjunction with our technology partners commencing in the mid 1980's), legacy programming languages, and the industry standard development tools and utilities. We explain and teach the idiosyncrasies and nuances of the software as an integrated tool for managing data and maintaining an IBM mainframe production environment. Guidelines and tips not found in the documentation are explained and demonstrated. If you are a hybrid shop - Computer Associates and Compuware; the value added aspect of our educational consultancy are integrated exercises and unbiased system software based explanations as the best way to achieve operational objectives. Few mainframe training companies can make that claim. And truth be told, we get requests directly from Computer Associates for training their clients on mainframe system software and utilities and development tools in non standard IBM production environments (e.g. student evaluations).

Our system consultants and technology partners, have the been there done there experience with the new XML output output capabilities of CA-software.  For example, in Easytrieve Plus there is a new XL parameter on the REPORT statement, which can be used for specifying that a report can be generated as an XML file. This allows Easytrieve programs to be integrated directly into web applications and for the generation of real-time and selectable reports using changing data.

If you have a training requirement in AllFusion Endevor, DYL-280(VISION:RESULTS), InterTest, or Panvalet, contact Computer Associates request an outline and quotation and then contact SYS-ED for a complimentary consultation.

When there is an ASAP requirement to master software technologies or evaluate an extension or successor to a product line, application developers from leading software companies turn to SYS-ED.
