Optimize your IBM Z environment without changing your COBOL applications
Your COBOL applications running on IBM Z are among your organization’s most valuable assets, supporting critical business processes with proven reliability, security, and scalability. As workload demands continue to grow, however, available General Processor (GP) capacity can become a constraint, limiting performance and restricting your ability to take on new initiatives.
Mainframe Optimization Services help organizations maximize the value of their existing IBM Z investments by identifying opportunities to redistribute COBOL workloads to zIIP specialty processors by using Software AG’s JOPAZ product. By leveraging JOPAZ, organizations can reclaim valuable GP capacity, improve processing efficiency, and create room for innovation—without application rewrites, data migration, or changes to existing COBOL source code.
Professional Services experts help you evaluate your current environment, identify optimization opportunities, and develop a strategy to achieve maximum value from your IBM Z platform.
