Compuware Corporation now provides "day one" support for IBM's CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V5.1, a crucial component of modern, multi-tiered and customer-facing applications.
Compuware's CICS-supporting solutions -- Abend-AID, Xpediter and Strobe -- all work seamlessly with the new release of CICS TS to provide essential support for building, debugging and improving the performance of CICS workloads.
"We know that many of our customers rely on CICS TS to run their business-critical applications," said Kris Manery, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Mainframe Solutions Business Unit, Compuware. "It's imperative they make a smooth migration to the new server, which is why we've invested time and resources to ensure that Abend-AID, Xpediter and Strobe are fully compatible with the new release. Our customers can relax knowing our solutions will be fully operational once the transition to the new software has occurred."
As CICS TS V5.1 customers move toward a service delivery platform for cloud computing, they can utilize Compuware's solutions to leverage CICS TS V5.1 every step of the way.
Beginning with Compuware's day one support, IT staff will be able to develop, test, tune and deploy CICS TS applications more quickly and with greater ease. Over time, customers can enjoy significant operational efficiencies, reduced costs and increased service agility through greater capacity and increased availability enhancements as well as more modern interfaces.
As customers improve application performance and reduce resource usage, Compuware's tools can further assist them as they take advantage of better platform management as well as vertical and horizontal scaling in CICS TS V5.1.
