Business IT organizations are constantly under pressure to drive new strategic initiatives that support the needs of corporate business units. These invariably include improvements to increase revenue, improve customer satisfaction and reduce risk. To ensure growth, or even survival, the IT decision makers must be ready to support initiatives for both line-of-business (LOB) managers and IT operations managers. Business initiatives can include:

•
Top line revenue growth
•
Best-in-class at profit / margin improvement, driven by IT initiatives to maximize earnings per share

Risk mitigation
•
Improved customer satisfaction

Quicker time to market of competitive advantages
•

•
Seamless IT integration for M&A
•
Improved supply chain management
The questions for IT decision makers now become: Do you know what types of changes to the IT infrastructure would be needed to make these initiatives a reality? Can this be accomplished with current systems, or are you resigned to recommending a complete forklift overhaul of datacenter systems? What if there were solutions to these challenges and others that would not require the services of a forklift?

Driving Business Success
RUNNING THE BUSINESS
The answers to these questions will depend on the direction you are planning on taking with your mainframe systems. Some businesses just need to run the business, maybe save a little money, or improve performance just enough to handle a small amount of growth. Many businesses are experiencing growth and are concerned about how their current infrastructures can handle the growth. Still others are concerned, not just about their current growth, but also about the strain that big data and analytics are going to have on their mainframe systems. Whichever category your business is in, DataKinetics can help you ensure you realize your desired business outcomes.
DataKinetics Data Optimization Solutions help you to run your existing systems faster and more efficiently. You can do much more than just keeping the lights on.
GROWING THE BUSINESS

IT Operations organizations are under pressure to ensure the smooth functioning of business IT infrastructure and operational environments that support all corporate business units. These typically include improvements in systems and database performance, and general system optimization. As IT operations managers and IT applications managers respond to business needs, IT Operations will be tasked with implementing projects that will tax existing systems beyond their apparent limits. IT initiatives can include:

Seamlessly moving mainframe data to the cloud—and back again
Your existing systems are the intellectual property that differentiates you from your competition. Sure, you can make improvements in performance and ongoing operational cost of these systems, you can avoid some of the highdollar options that are on the table now—you can choose high-risk solutions like forklift swap-out of computing systems, offloading key processing and re-platforming of your most critical applications—but then who gets to sleep well that night? Your legacy systems can also be seen as old technology that is holding you back and preventing your business from being more competitive. So the question is: How can you implement new strategies and technology on your existing systems while, at the same time, actually getting to go home on a weekend for a change?
Success Requires A Direction... Choose Your Path
Driving IT Success
The answer to your concern is that in most cases you can optimize existing applications and data sources to allow you to satisfy new IT requirements—to remain competitive, or even to provide the means to achieve new competitive advantage. Like many large enterprises, you probably have big IT plans to ensure continued presence and to remain competitive within your market for the future. Plans will certainly include big data and analytics, and will likely include some types of business intelligence, and fraud detection, and possibly cloud activity. DataKinetics can help you in three major ways: by optimizing data performance of your systems, applications and databases.
System Optimization
By reducing the mainframe resources needed to perform current workloads, DataKinetics System Optimization can effectively increase the capacity of existing systems, meaning that the workload is matched to the system so you get the most efficient outcomes.
Application Optimization
By allowing your applications to access reference data faster, DataKinetics Application Optimization can help them run faster and use fewer resources, giving you peace of mind that your applications can be best utilizing mainframe resources so you can easily implement new features without killing wall clock times. Imagine if you could run your batch window two or three times in the same window you are running today.
Database Optimization
With efficient all-platform, all-format replication, DataKinetics can help you to access your data when you need it, in the format you need it, anywhere you need it. Today‘s applications are demanding. We need to think big data and analytics, and to do that it is all about the data. Your choice about where you keep the data, transform it for big data, and move it around for analytics and other applications, has drastic effects on your architecture. Imagine architects worrying about business outcomes instead of database versioning.
