Ottertech Ltd is a small company specialising in IBM Mainframe Consultancy and Support.

We also offer specialised expertise in certain cross platform fields:

Mainframe/Corporate Services

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”, available from Xephon at http://www.xephon.co.uk
