State-of-the-Market

Major players in the software industry IBM, Computer Associates and Compuware, Micro Focus, and Serena Software are defining strategies for and with their customers to retain and extend the value of legacy systems. Each software company has a different proprietary strategy for modernizing legacy systems to new technologies without a significant rewriting of the code. De rigueur competition among these software companies in hybrid hardware and software environments can make it difficult for a mainframe shop to assess and migrate to new platforms and technologies in order to lower operation and maintenance costs. Tactical issues and decision-making for enabling a mainframe to co-exist with technologies such as J2EE, .NET and web services will be challenging for the client organization. The movement to the end game is straight forward: accurately model the business rules embedded in legacy systems in order to quantify the risks in time and cost associated with migration. Then automate the modernization process.

The common thread among the software companies is SYS-ED. SYS-ED systems consultant instructors have over 30 years of been there done that experience in mainframe information technology (it was data processing when we started in the business!) and more specifically programming languages, utilities and development tools, and systems software. Application developers from software and consulting companies routinely inquire about SYS-ED’s tailored mainframe consultancy derived courses and courseware in order to master the nuances of the software architecture and each other’s code.

SYS-ED mainframe courses are also available to Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, and consulting companies through our training center in midtown Manhattan. Our mainframe courses teach the industry standard subject matter in conjunction with consultancy derived techniques (what does not work as advertised and is not entirely correct in the software companies’ documentation). Our hard earned consultant’s swagger is part and parcel of SYS-ED mainframe training services - both traditional classroom instruction and web-based delivery of content. The value added aspect of our training is the support that we provide through our technology exchange websites.1

Additional Information

So by all means, contact the source mainframe software companies and get a good handle on the different strategies and the right way to proceed. Then visit our mainframe, system software and programming language specific websites. Or better yet e-mail or call for a consultation. Ask for David Shapiro - dshapiro@sysed.com or David Silverberg – dsilverberg@sysed.com.

SYS-ED mainframe courses are NOT open to the general public. Only employees sponsored by Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, healthcare providers, consulting companies, and mid-sized businesses are allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course and ONLY after a telephone consultation with our mainframe systems consultant/curriculum manager. This is essential for ensuring that the individual be placed in the course which corresponds to the employer’s operational objectives, operating environment, version of software, and development platform.
