This paper makes a case for IT centralization on IBM i and explains the important role automated systems management technologies like Robot have to play in centralized IT environments.
Combining IBM Power Systems hardware and reliable iSeries job scheduler software is a powerful investment strategy for companies that not only improves their bottom line, but enhances customer experience.
