A Precisely Case Study
Campbell County, Wyoming’s small IBM i team, led by Senior Programmer Analyst Rocky Marquiss, was spending countless hours manually parsing cryptic journal data to answer audit requests, manage security and meet disaster‑recovery requirements. To solve these challenges they turned to Precisely, initially deploying Assure Monitoring and Reporting (and later Assure System Access Manager) to streamline journal auditing and consolidate security management.
Precisely’s Assure Monitoring and Reporting parses and filters IBM i journals into readable, timely reports (PDFs in about 30 minutes) and converts journal receivers to secured physical files, which let the county reduce journal retention on production from six months to two days, cut disaster‑recovery exposure from three hours to 30 minutes, and lower disk utilization from 66% to 48%; the team also adopted Precisely’s Assure System Access Manager to centralize security, gain real‑time alerts and simulation testing, and achieve faster audits, better performance and measurable storage and DR improvements.
