An Opportunity You Should Not Miss! What Does WLC Mean for You?

I/S Management Strategies can work with you to help you understand zSeries, System z, z/OS and Workload License Charges. Every z/OS customer must analyze WLC. These projects can be completed in less than 1 week, sometimes a few hours, and you'll have a good independent analysis of WLC and your environment. If WLC can save money, you should change your IBM software contracts and get onto WLC. You cannot go back in time, so don't miss another month. Begin your analysis today. (Samples)

Onsite WLC Education

IBM has no education on WLC and you must understand WLC to make the correct decisions. IRD changes some of the PR/SM configuration guidelines used in the past. Today many data centers are configured in an effort to control software costs. With Workload License Charges, IRD and Parallel Sysplex many of these configurations can be changed to further reduce your expenses and improve the flexibility within your configuration.
