Unisys tools

At a time when mainframes are seen as dinosaurs and Unisys seems to have been forgotten, we are keen to provide support for those customers who wish to derive real business benefit from their systems. Our tools have been produced by Unisys experts: those with experience, history and deep knowledge of the internal workings of the equipment. The principle underlying these tools is "ease of use". They provide a user interface that is familiar to all of us who use PCs. Of course, simple interface and simple to use do not equate to simple tools. The tools themselves do the hard work, allowing you to handle the business issues. If the tool does not do exactly what you want, please get in touch so that we can discuss enhancements. The tools are there to make your job easier.

Performance and Capacity Planning

You want to know that you are in control of costs and that spending is commensurate with speed of business processing. The IT department is expected to help by keeping watch over the IT processing required for business processes and helping the business determine the most efficient method of bringing/keeping costs down. You want to either do less or do what you do for less, especially with metered systems and we want to help with facts and advice.

Data Quality

Our principles are to help companies reduce costs while still providing better service to their clients. We strive to help companies have control over their resources. This plays out as allowing users proper access to data. In this area data quality can often be an issue and, therefore, we provide a tool that gives you the ability to clean up data that has deteriorated over time. There could be any number of reasons why the data may no longer match business requirements but the issue of quality even with something as simple as de-duplication can have profound effects on the business.

Training

Keeping staff trained is an important part of having a well-motivated team. We have teamed up with a training company to provide excellent courses especially in the area of Unisys's AB Suite. Of course this is not all we provide as can be seen if you click on the "Training" button. There you will see an array of courses which will help staff be more productive and therefore have an impact on the bottom line.
