Is your Mainframe Generating Value?

Mainframe Infrastructure Management, in today’s IT environment of an organizationdemands highmaturity in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Mainframe environments are expectednot only to be maintained with cost-effective systems but also to exhibit the overall value that they bring to the organization in terms of short and long-term structure and services.

Should outsourcing Mainframe Data Center Management be an option that can satisfy the need of bringing cost-effective system in place? This complex decision of Mainframe outsourcingrequires IT departments to takeinto consideration numerous variables. Working with right outsourcing partner helps companies evaluate the nature and expected quality of the service requirement; recognizeavailable options and, if outsourcing makes sense, how best to go about it.

Outsourcing Does Help your Mainframe Environment Generate Value. How? · Lower TCO Mainframe Economies of Scale can be achieved via vendor distribution where Maintec’s clients typically save 30-40% on their Mainframe operating costs, when they outsource. Vendor distributionis nothing but spreading over hardware, software, personnel, power, infrastructure, and disaster recovery costs over multiple customers.

Outsourcing Does Help your Mainframe Environment Generate Value. How? (Contd..) · Pay for what you use Enterprises have the advantage of turning their fixed cost into a variable cost by paying for mainframe processing just like they paytheir monthly utility bills. Through Mainframe outsourcing, our clients enjoy pay-per-use advantage - Pay only for what you need and avoid upfront capital expenditures.

· Skilled Mainframe Resources Getting direct access to highly skilled remote staff through email, Skype, VOIP or video conferencinghelp freeing up our customer organizations from overhead tensions of hiring, training and recruiting resources for critical Mainframe services.

· Relocation/Moving It is always better and much cheaper to outsource for companies that are moving their facilities instead of investing in building a new data center.

· Moving off the Mainframe Companies that are moving off the mainframe to another platform can have their staff focus on the new application(s)/platform(s) rather than keeping the “old stuff” running each day.

· Data back-up Companies keep business critical data at various locations as back-up as a Disaster recovery solution.
