Compuware and Computerworld Team up to Analyze One of the Most Costly and Important Challenges Facing Mainframe Organizations—MIPS Consumption

How would you, as the individual responsible for corporate expenditures, “characterize” your company’s mainframe environment? If you are in MIPS “growth mode”; what are the determining factors? Hardware acquired to support healthy business growth makes good business sense.  However, obtaining hardware to support feeble, inefficient and sluggish applications is a losing proposition. 

The August 2006 issue of Common Sense focused on the costs surrounding MIPS and how a solid MIPS management program can help your company avoid unexpected upgrades that will reduce your IT budget.

In this issue, Common Sense explores this topic further by sharing the results of a 2007 Compuware – Computerworld collaborative survey used to better understand MIPS usage and management within mainframe organizations. Commissioned by Compuware and fielded by Computerworld, the survey reveals valuable details for IT leaders seeking information on how their peers are addressing MIPS management, including growing MIPS consumption and increasing IT costs.
