ENTERPRISE STRATEGY GROUP HAILS TITAN ARCHIVE
Analysts at Enterprise Strategy Group state "Databases and associated applications generate a preponderance of corporate information and keeping this data online for extended periods of time has been viewed as cost-prohibitive primarily due to storage hardware costs. In addition, the risk of moving data between various devices while maintaining referential integrity has not provided enough reward to justify the process. Solutions such as TITAN Archive are a way to help organizations offload archived database information to lower-cost storage devices, with the data being secure, searchable and accessible if needed. For customers creating paper records that are derivatives of database reporting and computer output processes, TITAN Archive can facilitate more efficient compliance and electronic discovery processes."

IMS MANAGED SERVICES
Did you know that according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics "An estimated 19,000 database administrators (DBAs) will be needed each year between 2003 and 2012, due to industry growth and retirements in the IT Industry." Most IMS shops are keenly aware of this situation. Because IMS has been running the largest IT implementations in the world for over 30 years. The precious resources who understand IMS are aging—and eventually retiring. Hiring additional IMS resources can be difficult. So what can you do?
Well, when IMS DBAs are hard to find, or IMS project demands increase, we can assist you with our iServe managed services. NEON Enterprise Software iServe experts provide the IMS DBA and systems programming services you need to cover any IMS resource shortfall, leaving you free to concentrate on your business, and not IMS outsourcing. Working with your team, we can help you design a comprehensive plan for the DBA and systems programming services you need—including tasks, responsibilities, service goal requirements, and success measurements.

"Since I first started posting to this blog, I have tried to give what I thought were excellent reasons to rebind your plans and packages. Well, here's one more reason to consider rebinding everything at some point while you are still running DB2 Version 8. Once you get to DB2 9 for z/OS, any plan or package bound in DB2 Version 3 or prior will no longer work."
