12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT
The Tailored Fit Pricing model offers new opportunities for people tasked with managing their z/OS IT operations. With no Rolling 4-Hour Average, capping no longer necessary and when every MSU counts, you likely have many questions about how to manage and optimize workloads from both a technical and business perspective: How am I tracking against my allocated annual baseline? What is the change in MSU consumption month-to-month? How do I know which system management tasks are adding value and which can be reduced? How can I determine which application improvements will have the largest impact? In this session, we show you how to answer these questions and more.
