MAINFRAMES
Mainframes, with their robust architecture and unparalleled efficiency, have been an integral part of the software industry for over 40 years. Despite the emergence of new technologies, mainframes remain irreplaceable due to their reliability, high processing speed, and ability to support concurrent users. Currently, around 80% of mainframe projects are maintenance-focused, while migration to user-friendly systems is a growing trend. Our team, with expertise in languages like PL/I, COBOL, and databases such as DB2, excels in delivering mainframe solutions for esteemed clients like ACNielsen and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Advantages • Concurrent users • High Processing Speed • Storage • TSO • Multiprogramming • Multiprocessing • Security • Reliable • Batch Processing
Domains • Banking • Finance • Insurance • Market Research (Retail) • Telecom
So far • Mainframes is a very stable environment • It has been there in the Software Industry for more than 40 years • No new technology can totally replace Mainframes because of its architecture and efficiency
Current trend • Around 80% of Mainframes projects are maintenance projects • Only 20% or less are development projects • The reason being the cost factor. The hardware maintenance cost and the initial investment required is too high.
Current trend • Migration projects are the current trend in the market • Reasons: User friendly screens Maintenance cost
Future • A survey to determine the current demand for mainframes found that more than half of the respondents still have major applications running on mainframes
In DBA • We are working on mainframes right from the day company started. We are experts in PL/I, IMS but we have also worked on COBOL, DB2 Projects. Our clients: ACNielsen, Blue Cross Blue Shield
