BMC Compuware Topaz Connect serves as a vital link between the systems overseeing mainframe applications and the contemporary tools utilized for managing non-mainframe applications, effectively breaking down silos that can hinder innovation. By integrating mainframe operations with various platforms throughout the organization, businesses can monitor processes for mainframe applications in a manner akin to that used for other software and hardware systems. This solution addresses the silos caused by a lack of unified tools, which in turn accelerates the delivery of business value. It enhances enterprise IT automation by minimizing the need for disparate manual interventions, making the most of existing investments in IT service management (ITSM). Additionally, it incorporates the mainframe into DevOps workflows, improving overall process efficiencies. With this tool, programmers who lack mainframe experience can effectively manage mainframe code, ensuring a smoother transition and operation. Moreover, it seamlessly connects BMC Compuware ISPW with ITSM solutions like BMC Helix and Tivoli, allowing for the precise communication of ITSM code changes to BMC Compuware ISPW. Ultimately, this integration fosters a more cohesive IT environment, fostering collaboration and innovation across the enterprise.

BMC Compuware Topaz offers an all-encompassing collection of contemporary tools for mainframe development and testing, aimed at enhancing developer efficiency regardless of the age or complexity of the software. This modern solution facilitates mainframe development and testing while providing improved insight and expertise. A study conducted by Forrester Consulting at the request of Compuware revealed that 64% of organizations reliant on mainframes are executing over half of their essential workloads on these systems, yet they are only able to replace a mere one-third of the retiring professionals. In light of this situation, it is essential for companies to implement a force multiplier that enables their development teams to achieve greater outcomes with fewer resources. The Topaz suite is capable of assisting mainframe developers of varying experience levels to swiftly grasp, update, test, maintain, and resolve issues in even the most antiquated, intricate, or inadequately documented systems. By leveraging such tools, organizations can significantly enhance their operational capabilities and better navigate the challenges posed by workforce shortages.

IBM IMS™ serves as a hierarchical database management system designed for online transaction processing (OLTP) as well as online batch processing. The latest version, IMS 15, enhances data security through pervasive encryption and lowers the cost of deriving meaningful insights by maintaining data on IBM Z. Similar to its predecessor, IMS 14, IMS 15 boasts exceptional performance, reliability, and maintainability. It facilitates development and broadens access to IMS transactions and data by utilizing open integration technologies. Users can experience the performance advantages of the IMS Transaction Manager while benefiting from competitive pricing. Additionally, organizations can take advantage of a high-speed, highly available IMS data server that offers an appealing pricing model. To further optimize the performance and administration of IMS systems, various database and transaction management tools are available. These enhancements not only boost analyst productivity but also elevate the performance of IMS applications, enhance resource utilization, and ensure system reliability. An integrated solution is also provided for the concurrent backup and recovery of multiple data sets and Fast Path areas, ensuring data integrity and availability. Ultimately, these features position IMS as a powerful tool for managing data and transactions effectively.
