Overview:
In this case study, you'll learn how an Alabama company, whose IT department is a long established IBM mainframe shop, discovered SEGUS' SmartIS and SmartJCL tools for their mainframe administration and automation needs.

SmartIS has a mainframe scanner that collects and displays mainframe-based
data. Administrators can easily and quickly cross-reference, analyze, and
graphically display all the z/OS system data. SmartJCL uses a simple interface to scan and analyze JCL code. JCL code is a notorious source of operational problems, but this tool effectively eliminates as many potential errors as possible before JCL is introduced into production.

SEGUS' Smart products not only delivered better functionality with a good GUI (graphical user interface), but would save the company $80,000 over a five year period, while also avoiding future costly upgrade fees.
