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 IT (it was DP 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 and routinely inquire about SYS-ED’s tailored mainframe consultancy derived courses and courseware in order to master the nuances of the software and the underlying architecture and nature of 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 classical theory (inclusive of vendor certification subject matter) and consultancy derived knowledge transfer (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 every instructor-led course that SYS-ED teaches. The value added aspect of SYS-ED's mainframe training service are course hand-outs, training aids, and ongoing support.¹
