DESCRIPTION
In the January Mainframe Virtual User Group (VUG) meeting, guest speaker, Benny Westaedt, CEO and Chief Architect of PSW solutions discussed “How ChangeMan ZMF’s ERO option saves you resources and money.” Benny stepped our audience through the Enterprise Release Option (ERO) of ChangeMan ZMF and made a very compelling case for how ERO does save time and resources in a manner that was accessible to all technical levels and easily understood by those with or without actual ERO experience.TRANSCRIPT

Those involved in “Project Death-Star” thought going to production with: • No Risk or Impact analysis, • A minimum amount of testing • And a thermal exhaust port from the central reactor core Was not going to be an issue. . . . .

» Summary
• Test and build environments cost precious resources: not planning for them costs even more.
• The right ERO implementation helps you balance your resources and makes sure you use the right ones at the right time.
• Disk space, CPU time, human resources, quality and risk can be managed by ERO. • The build management and impact analysis features, deliver crucial information about the
potential risk and quality impact.
