BMC Mainframe Research

5 Myths Busted!
Insights from the 2017 survey

More than 1,000 executives and technical professionals from organizations across industries and geographies participated in the annual BMC mainframe survey, the most significant study of its kind. Respondents enthusiastically told us about mainframe usage in their organizations and shared their outlook on the platform.

This year’s research busts five widely-held myths about the mainframe:

  • Myth 1: Organizations have fully optimized mainframe availability
  • Myth 2: The mainframe is in maintenance mode; no one is modernizing it
  • Myth 3: Executives are planning to replace their mainframes
  • Myth 4: Younger IT professionals are pessimistic about mainframe careers
  • Myth 5: People working on the mainframe today are all older
If you want the link to the full BMC report, I will be happy to send it to you, just e-mail me offline.

Max,
Yes.  You should have received an e-mail if you are eligible for a Gift Card (you were).  Instructions were in the e-mail.  If you need to, I can resend.

Lou,
Good to hear....By the way, I think I may have a guess what NUMBER the SOCIAL SECURITY Administration may have keyed in, but it would only be a guess...

Ken,

 

I had something really cool happen to me last week… I went to the local Social Security office to start my retirement payments.. the clerk keyed in some number on his terminal, then turned the terminal around for me to inspect the results and what did I see?  A 3270 emulation screen!  Brought back some good memories 😊
