BMC-3270-SUPEROPTIMIZER

Business Challenge

CICS is the backbone supporting much of the world's S/390 applications and VSAM manages more than 50% of corporate data worldwide. Although often taken for granted, CICS and VSAM are critical to business applications. CICS links end users, applications, databases and data stored in VSAM. CICS is also an integral part of today's e-business environment, acting as the primary gateway for Web access to S/390 applications, and as a key component of the IBM WebSphere Web server environment.

Business Need

• Retain knowledgeable staff
• Simplify complex applications
• Interact with other S/390 systems, including DB2, IMS/DB, VSAM, TCP/IP and OS/390 itself
• Find and correct problems quickly
