Mainframe Cost Optimization – German
A webinar by SMT Data and Origina.
In a time with high inflation and financial uncertainties, customers have seen their cost of mainframe software based on variable monthly license charge (MLC) from most vendors go up by at least 15%. Same goes for newer billing models like Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP). This not only impacts customers operating the mainframe in-house, but also customers with outsourced mainframe operations.
Mainframes continue to be vital for operations for global companies across various industries, offering unparalleled stability, security, and processing power. However, the total cost of support and maintaining mainframes can be very expensive and service today from the mega vendors fall short of customers’ expectations, especially as skills gaps widen within the workforce. As a result, many organizations are turning to third-party software maintenance alternatives for more cost-effective solutions and better service.
The webinar will include presentations from Ingrid Martin, Regional Sales Manager DACH at SMT Data and Volkan Özdemir, Enterprise Account Executive at Origina DACH-Region.
Practical information
The webinar will be in German and is a free event. At the end of the webinar there will be an interactive Q&A.

Month to Month – Year to Year Capacity Planning
SMT Data’s CTO Steven Thomas will represent the company at the GSE Nordic Region Conference in Oslo, Norway.
Steven will hold a keynote speech with the title: “Month to Month – Year to Year Capacity Planning”.
The conference will take place May 23 – May 25, 2023 in Oslo.
Abstract:
Real world experience with capacity planning from Topdanmark, a large insurance company in Denmark. In Top Denmark’s mainframe environment, the hardware and software are outsourced, but system programming remains inhouse.
The capacity management process starts with a selection of SMF records. Next step is to turn raw data into useful information for capacity planning.
The historical capacity usage provides a baseline on top of which is added planned increases in business volume, estimated unplanned workload and working “white space” for final capacity allocation.
