FOREWORD In today’s fast-paced world, it is virtually impossible to know of the wide range of solutions that are available and that could provide them and their IT organization with increased capabilities and improved system performance that could result in competitive advantage, increased profitability, broadened opportunities and cost reduction. Welcome to our “Directory of Mainframe Solution Providers (DMSP).” The beauty of including it with each issue of our magazines is that everyone has quick and easy access to the information. And, because it is digital, it is quickly searchable. For example: Someone who is interested in CICS solutions need only go to the Directory, follow the directions for performing a search as shown on the bottom of the next page under the subheading, “How to Perform a Search,” and you will be presented with a list of all Solution Provider pages that have a CICS solution. So, look for the DMSP in each issue of Enterprise Executive and Enterprise Tech Journal. If your company is a mainframe-focused software, hardware, services or consulting organization and would like to be listed in our Directory of Mainframe Solution Providers, please contact Denny Yost via email at denny@esmpubs.com for details.
