SMT Data’s mainframe tools “open up” the box to provide valuable information for decision makers regarding IT cost reduction.

• They improve perception, dialogue and decision making throughout the organisation
• They use and define terms, which can be easily understood at all levels
• They visualise service levels, consumption of resources as well as costs per business system.

The information is based on statistical data collected from IBM mainframes and business applications, classified according to local business terms.

The measured resource usage may be translated into costs, making the resulting information universally accessible and useful.

Many SMT Data customers outsource their IT operations and use the SMT solutions to control the efficiency of their sourcing provider.
