Appendix B. Mapping ISV Products and Functions
This is a frequent topic of discussion with customers considering migrating. How
a customer′s ISV products map to those contained in base OS/390 is always
discussed.
It is a common migration task to ensure there is equality. This equivalent
function mapping will grow in importance as coexistence is established.
It is also a way customers can reduce their ISV SW stack charges. Also if
customers are not familiar with the comparable functions of each operating
system it provides a good guide and helps when it is time to configure the
OS/390 system.
This mapping information also fits in with the description of system management
products listed in 2.2, “OS/390 Components/Products/Subsystems” on page 18.
B.1 The IBM Software Migration Project Office (SMPO)
The SMPO is part of IBM′s North America Software Group and has been in
business since 1993 providing solutions that help solve customers′ business
problems. We do that by helping companies, like yours, migrate to the industry′s
leading systems management and database: DB2 and IBM/Tivoli products.
Many of our customers have made substantial investments in platforms which no
longer support their growing business requirements. They have turned to us for
help because the SMPO has the experience, the skills and the tools to assist
them in executing a successful migration project.
IBM/Tivoli product offerings include a full suite of S/390 system and network
management products for: system automation, enterprise job scheduling,
security management, storage management, performance management and
report management. These products and service offerings can provide
alternatives to ISV products.
If you have any questions or need more information about the SMPO, feel free to
navigate about our home page, or you can contact any one of our IBM/Tivoli
Migration Team or Database Team personnel. The SMPO home page can be
