A Compuware Case Study
s IT Solutions Austria, the IT services arm of the Erste Group, needed to maintain quality and cost-efficiency of its mainframe (z Systems) operations while outsourcing and consolidating vendors. With rising transaction volumes from online and mobile banking, the team sought tools that would minimize MIPS consumption, support diverse languages and databases, enable fast ops–dev collaboration, and be easy for newer, non-mainframe staff to use.
They selected Compuware Strobe and Topaz Workbench, which delivered deep insight into application behavior, an intuitive graphical interface, and seamless integration across Compuware tools. The results included up to 95% reduction in application resource consumption, reduced impact after a release upgrade, faster cross-team problem resolution, better future-readiness, and an ongoing expert partnership.
