3. 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.
Is your Mainframe
GeneratingValue?
· 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 GenerateValue. How?
4. · 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.
