Ottertech
Ltd is a small company specialising in IBM Mainframe Consultancy and Support.
We also
offer specialised expertise in certain cross platform fields:
There are those who say the mainframe is dead,
that PC's, Open Systems and Client Servers are the new cutting edge of
technology..... call me a dinosaur, but I think they are wrong:
Fact: 2001 was IBM's best year
ever for sales of Mainframe processors and peripherals
Fact: 84% of Fortune 500
companies are reliant on IBM mainframe technology for mission critical systems
Fact: 65% of managers in a 1996
survey of sites which had migrated from IBM mainframe systems to C/S or 'open'
platforms stated that they would not have made the move if they had been fully
aware of all the costs involved
Fact: In all companies with over
100 computer 'end users', a CMOS OS/390 Open Edition and 'thin client'
workstation configuration produces a lower annual cost per user than any other
solution offering equivalent functionality
All this is not just the embittered hype of a
mainframe junky either! Feel free to confirm it by reading “The Dinosaur Myth”,
