The future of mainframe management and how traditional product-centric
administration transcends into intelligent role-based experiences such as a
single workspace created to improve the user experience by unifying data,
performance and systems health, as well as provide simple navigation into
tasks, objects, session history and more.

§  An environment is enabled where all the disparate functions required by a
DBA for specific tasks are provided in a consistent way, where knowledge is
presented simply and the output from multiple tools can be used as input to
other tools.

§  This role-based capability radically enhances the overall user experience
to give all levels and roles of users, including expert and novice
technicians, a much better work environment and vast efficiency
improvements.

§  Something beyond mere "dashboard" visual reporting, this role-based
workspace can chart, trend, and graph thousands of data points, including
data, performance metrics, and time ranges vs. pouring over tabular text
data.
