Expertise in Mainframe & Open

HH&S offers its Senior Consultants expertise in both worlds of IBM Mainframe (z/OS MVS, z/VM, z/Linux) and Open (UNIX/Linux, Windows, Java, Internet, ...)

Our characteristic is to have a wide computer culture, since we all started in the IBM mainframe world and followed the evolution of Minis and Micros systems. This broad view of different worlds gives us a very strong technical expertise to develop IT architectures.

Our specialty, of course, is IBM Mainframe z/OS MVS, z/VM: We bring Mainframe clients who no longer have the necessary skills, our expertise, our advice to carry out such actions as:

  • MVS to AIX replatforming (Datapost - 1998)
  • audit, inventory of the existing legacy technical / application (merging Mikros/Datapost - 2002)
  • study for disengagement (LPar Carve out, Lift & Shift), cost optimization (LPar Merge) (NATIONAL SUISSE ASSURANCES - 2007)
