Case Study: Major International Communications Company achieves more efficient mainframe storage management with Precisely Easy/Exit

How Syncsort™ Storage Management’s easy/exit helped a major international communications company

Major International Communications Company, a Fortune 1000 digital customer experience innovator, was struggling with emergency logons to TSO and a collection of obsolete, highly customized mainframe exits. With limited assembler expertise and little time to maintain legacy code, the company needed a long-term way to replace and extend its mainframe functionality without rewriting outdated exits. Precisely’s Syncsort Storage Management easy/exit was identified as the product that could help solve the problem.

Precisely converted the customer’s exit source into DIF policy rules and added capabilities within easy/exit, giving the company a faster, more user-friendly alternative to rewriting legacy code. As a result, the team saved time previously spent troubleshooting bad exits, eliminated the need for scarce assembler programmers, and kept existing z/OS systems running without new hardware or a major IT overhaul. Precisely continues to support the customer’s ongoing mainframe modernization and application reliability efforts.
