Mainframe Training by SYS-ED

Better than the Training Offered by the Big Three:
IBM, Computer Associates, and Compuware
SYS-ED's cadre of system consultants are recognized experts in application development with legacy programming language - such as COBOL and REXX and mainframe system software. For the better part of a a quarter century, we have been teaching the comprehensive range of mainframe utilities and development tools for the IBM mainframe environment. Several members of our staff participated in first generation utilization of the mainframe utilities and developments tools (which in most cases predates the current corporate ownership of the software!) InterTest, Panvalet, Roscoe, Vollie, Wylbur, DYL-280, Endevor, File-AID family of products, TSO Xpediter, CICS Xpediter, Easytrieve, SDF-II, and Syncsort. We have been called on by industry leading software companies (IBM, Computer Associates, Compuware, and Serena Software to name a few) to provide educational consultancy on maintenance coding and debugging for the next generation  legacy mainframe system software and programming languages.

The SYS-ED advantage, for Fortune 1000, government municipalities, healthcare providers, and consulting companies is that not only do we know the utilities, but we are recognized experts on the systems software - VSAM, IMS, CICS and DB2 and underlying operating systems: z/OS, Z/VM, and z/VSE. And truth be told when it comes to a difficult assignment; such as when IBM software developers needed guidance in designing and coding products to compete with Compuware software or when Computer Associates does not have a multidisciplinary systems consultant to teach DYL-280 (Vision-Results) in a DL/1 VSE shop, these industry leaders call on SYS-ED’s system consultant/instructors to “explain and teach”.

Why SYS-ED for Mainframe Training
When it comes to legacy programming languages (COBOL, Assembler Language, PL/1, FORTRAN, and REXX), evolutionary systems software (VSAM, CICS, and IMS, DB2, IDMS, and ADABAS) and new technologies integrated with IBM mainframe systems (WebSphere MQ), SYS-ED’s credentials in terms of consultancy experience and advanced degrees in many situations will be superior to that of the employees from the source software companies.
We recognize and differentiates between industry standard content and educational consulting. We review documented coding standards and then have the client select the examples, sample programs, and exercises from our courseware library. If necessary, we will create new ones and also provide skeleton programs.

Knowledge Base and Submit Mainframe Questions
SYS-ED reviews information in the public domain distributed by software companies, international standards committees, and purveyors of open source software. We perform our own independent analysis and assessments of benchmarks for software updates and new products. Vendor documentation and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. SYS-ED clients are invited to submit mainframe questions. Our system consultants and technology partners answer, explain, and where applicable reference source documentation. Questions are reviewed and answered on a first-come/first serve-basis. This service is available through our categorized and software specific mainframe websites.

Caveat Emptor
Prior to scheduling a mainframe utilities and development tools course from Computer Associates, Compuware, or IBM, compare the quality of the training service that SYS-ED offers:

and Development Tools

SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.

Mainframe Training Program

Mainframe Training Programs Portfolio: Mainframe Training Services

Budgetary issues aside, three major issues will have to be carefully evaluated in relation to mainframe IT training in the 21st century:

1. The degree of web based access to mainframe data which will be allowed and the critical issue of issue of security.
2. The appropriate strategic mix of proprietary and open source software.
3. How much of the mainframe development should be contracted outside of the United States, be performed by consultants based in the United States as compared to having full-time salaried employees perform the work.

SYS-ED offers tailored "entry-level" and "fast-track" mainframe training programs.

Mainframe Training Services Standard entry-level training programs consist of four components: z/OS operating system, programming skills, programming language, and system software. These programs have been developed and refined over a quarter century of consultancy and teaching and draw upon the SYS-ED courseware library.
Mainframe Training Services Tailored fast-track programs are comprised of course modules selected by the client organization: topics, examples, workshops, validation assessments, and duration. Many clients also elect to incorporate an educational consulting component which reflects their standards and implementation strategy for project development.

SYS-ED trained a significant number of the first generation of mainframe DP personnel in the 1980’s. We look forward to the opportunity and challenge of training their successors in the 21st century. Albeit, with a more comprehensive set of delivery mediums in hybrid and interrelated software environments.


Mainframe Training in New York

Mainframe Courses in New York
SYS-ED's mainframe courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" mainframe training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their mainframe staffing requirements and acquire specialized mainframe skillsets.1  Mainframe utilities and development courses at the present time are only offered at client locations.

Courseware
SYS-ED's mainframe utilities and development tools courseware is highly respected in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs, and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world mainframe information technology. Our mainframe curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated training programs on z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, and third party emulation workbench/platforms.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide world class mainframe training for highly motivated IT professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience in the mainframe environment - operating systems, programming languages, 3rd party utilities/development aids, and system software. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced materials. After a course, they are available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Mainframe Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED mainframe course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is only allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the correct learning path.

Mainframe Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED mainframe courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with technology partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored mainframe training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site mainframe courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the mainframe training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
