Mainframe Cost Takeout
REDUCE YOUR IBM MAINFRAME & RELATED COSTS
SUBSTANTIALLY
Why are my MAINFRAME costs continuing to increase?
It is no secret that IBM Mainframe costs have been increasing. What’s worse, third party mainframe software costs from vendors such as Broadcom have been increasing even more AND there’s no end in sight.
IBM has a monopoly on the hardware. Mainframe software is concentrated into a handful of vendors AND it’s very difficult to switch software, leaving most mainframe users at the mercy of these vendors.
It’s no wonder that companies will continue to be challenged in managing their mainframe costs.
Leverage our expertise to achieve significant savings
It is absolutely possible to save up to 30% of your mainframe-related run costs, without rewriting a single line of code.
Instead, optimizing the structure of your usage and your various agreements with IBM and 3rd party vendors can result in rapid and significant cost savings.
The ability to properly execute what we have described requires a deep level of knowledge of IBM products, tactics, and strategies.
This level and depth of knowledge is rarely found within the mainframe or procurement departments of most companies.
