Description

Broadcom Librarian is a comprehensive change management and library management platform created for organizations operating within mainframe environments. The solution helps businesses manage, secure, and monitor software assets while simplifying application development and maintenance processes. Librarian includes the Change Control Facility (CCF), which automates change control procedures and provides interactive tools for managing source code and other data records. The platform supports parallel and concurrent development, allowing teams to work more efficiently across multiple mainframe systems. Its self-reorganizing and compressed file structures help optimize storage usage while improving operational performance. Librarian also offers integrated features for reporting, performance monitoring, archiving, recovery, and security management. These capabilities enable organizations to maintain greater control over software development activities and application lifecycles. The solution provides detailed audit trails that make it easier to track modifications, support compliance requirements, and generate accurate reporting for governance initiatives. By combining advanced library management with automated change control, Broadcom Librarian helps enterprises improve productivity, strengthen oversight, and simplify application management across complex IT environments.

Description

Avoid burdening your Z System with old and unnecessary software by maximizing the return on investment from your Mainframe systems; this can be achieved through fostering ongoing innovation and speed by utilizing the software resources that are most valuable to your organization via a comprehensive IT asset management strategy. Streamline software expenses, ease asset management responsibilities, and effortlessly meet software vendor audit requirements. ZAO generates a precise inventory of software assets across each mainframe system by executing a batch job that identifies loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. Continuous monitoring and reporting of each asset's usage provide you with a clear perspective on software asset performance. Furthermore, ZAO allows you to input licensing details for your vendor software assets, which are then cross-referenced with the inventory and usage data on your mainframe systems to uncover optimization opportunities and potential audit risks. By implementing such a program, organizations not only enhance efficiency but also ensure compliance and strategic resource allocation.
