Consultancy

Our business structure is based on three pillars:

1. Hosting/Operations2. Consulting/Training 3. Software/Tools.

These are organized under four core technical groups:

1. Systems2. Middleware3. Operations/Maintenance4. Development & Tools

We can provide highly skilled and experienced con-sultants in many specialties.

In our environment, the old adage attached to z/TPF and mainframe is not true at all. The bicolour ter-minals and long command entries are a thing of the past. All applications have a user-friendly graphic in-terface running on either Windows, MAC and/or Li-nux operating systems. We also offer our customers the choice of development of applications running on mobile under iOS or Android.

We implemented our Middleware and Systems soft-ware in many airlines such as Emirates/Mercator, Garuda/Asyst, TAP, VARIG, VASP, Turkish Airlines and Swiss Air. We are also the originators of TPFDF and, although IBM acquired the license from us, our team of experts continue to develop z/TPFDF enhance-ments and innovations as part of IBM’s contract.

Our services range from consultancy to full hosting with different levels of tailored solutions to meet your needs.

Global TPF Development Plat-form (GTDP)

Our TPF development product offers a simplified user interface and highly integrated suite of tools. This allows the developer to focus on the work instead of the tools.

There are many benefits using GTDP:

� Significantly simplified “new user” set-up.

� Simplified hardware and software inter faces for easier maintenance.

� Common product across all TPF develop ment sites.

� Implementation of existing product will minimize TDP development effort and mi-nimize user impact caused by loading new, unproven, software.

� Enhanced security, control, monitoring and alerting processes surrounding the new development environment.

� Cost savings though elimination of VM mainframe system for developer support and a significant reduction in the use of mainframe z/OS.

� Replacement of CVS repository (which has reached end of life) with modern reposi-tory product.

� All user interfaces based on TPF Toolkit or Web Browser.

� Underlying infrastructure built using “off the shelf” / open source products and based on centralized database to manage process flow.

� VM elimination for development support and move to a LINUX-based infrastructure.

� Development based on project/task workspace and away from single entities (instead of promoting program/macros you promote the workspace).
