z/OS Management Services Catalog is a web-based application designed to address the hiring shortage of systems programmers, professionals that manage IBM Z mainframes. Mainframes are managed using complex workflows and coding languages that take over 10 years of experience to gain fluency in. Based on continuous user feedback, we created a product that automates these workflows, allowing junior programmers to perform z/OS management tasks by using a modern interface that is as simple as filling out a form.
