MIPS Management Assessment

Business Challenge

CPU usage for business-critical z/OS-based applications continues to increase as new applications and new functionality for existing applications are developed. Companies are challenged by:

• CPU usage increasing faster than the revenue of the business line
• severe shortages in mainframe computing power forcing frequent upgrades
• reduced service to business partners.

Solution

Compuware's MIPS Management Assessment helps reduces the CPU consumption in our customers' z/OS-applications without adversely affecting service levels or incurring costly hardware upgrades. Compuware's team of application performance specialists can help our customers:

• identify root caues of CPU consumption in z/OS-based applications
• discuss and develop more efficient techniques to process the workload at a lower total cost
• foster an environment of cross-functional collaboration based on objective data
• develop new, more efficient coding standards and best practices to reduce CPU consumption in other applications
• introduce a CPU reduction initiative to application development and other IT teams
• reduce the need for cost reductions in other areas of the IT budget.
