IBM zOS Legacy Software Support - ZOS/Assist
Many customers from Logistics to Financial Services are still using IBM Mainframes.
Some customers will be upgrading to a new Z17 mainframe, whilst many companies have serious technology debt and are are still operating older Z10, Z114, Z119, Z12, Z13, or Z14 - our Legacy ZOS 2.4 & older support is for those businesses.
Does your business run Z and could you benefit from zOS 2.4 & older Remote Software & Operational Support?
- Support for software products out of mainstream support from the vendor IBM, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket and other ISV products
- An average of 50% savings every year compared to Vendor pricing
- Optional 24x7x365 Support
- Access to a team of highly skilled experts with over 400 years’ collective experience of working with mainframe technologies
- Answers to “what if” and “how to” usage queries
- Assistance to apply fixes for known defects
Through services like ZOS Assist, Baby Blue IT & Consulting works alongside in-house teams supporting z/OS 2.4 and older environments, not to replace what’s already there, but to provide experienced escalation when it’s needed.
That includes the parts of the stack that tend to matter most day-to-day:
- CICS, IMS, Db2 and IBM MQ
- And the languages many of these estates are built on, COBOL, PL/I and Fortran
Alongside that, there are options to support the underlying hardware where traditional models are no longer the best fit.
None of this is about moving away from your current setup.
It’s simply about knowing that you don’t have to default into one path as costs increase and that you can stay in control, keep your team, and still have somewhere to turn when you need support that makes sense.
If you’re running older z/OS or Z platforms and haven’t revisited your support approach in a while, it’s probably worth a conversation.
No pressure, simply a clear outline of your options.
