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.
