Information Technology Management

Mainframe Management

DG Technology has over 20 years of experience working with companies that have been dependent on the Mainframe to run their business. These companies continue to realize value from the information that is generated and managed on this platform. Over 80% of all data is generated from the MF. Information Technology is prepared and dedicated to offer services to help protect these investments as new opportunities are presented. We believe the following evaluations should take place to ensure the investment you are making is sound. Take advantage of the experience of DG Tech to evaluate your enterprise.

• Portfolio Review – We will evaluate your software portfolio and identify opportunities to (1) exploit more features of an existing technology (2) replace products with a more cost effective solutions and (3) eliminate obsolete solutions. Consistently, clients have been able to achieve savings and increase the efficiency of their operation.
• Migration Analysis – We will evaluate the feasibility of migrating mainframe applications to a different platform. While the idea of moving MF to distributed has generated enthusiasm, is it right for you? We can answer that question through a rigid evaluation of the application and database.
• Contract analysis - Are your contracts reflective of your current business plan? We can evaluate all software agreements and identify where savings can be achieved.
• Staff Augmentation and Staff Outsourcing – As many companies add new technologies there is the need for the current staff to move to those technologies. Also, the system programmers, COBOL programmers, Easytrieve programmers and DBAs are approaching retirement or new challenges. DG Technology can offer contract services to either augment current staff or take over the management of any of the disciplines for the short or long term.

Mainframe Event Acquisition System (MEAS)™

DG Technology developed MEAS™ to help clients collect, in real-time, information pertaining to security events, database related events, transaction processing events and more. The technology enables mainframe clients the ability to collect, store, report and take action against the data through integration with tools like McAfee ePO. Clients can initiate the appropriate action to report via the ePO console and can email or text message the appropriate user. Clients can ensure policy-based security compliance of mainframe events. The tool can be purchased stand alone and will support users of 3rd party vendors such as, CA TopSecret, CA ACF2 and IBM RACF as well as SIEM solutions like CA ELM.
