What is HCL Z Asset Optimizer (ZAO)?

Prevent your Z System from being overloaded with outdated and superfluous software by optimizing the value derived from your Mainframe systems; this can be accomplished by promoting sustained innovation and rapid deployment through a thorough IT asset management strategy that focuses on the most beneficial software resources for your organization. This approach not only streamlines software costs and simplifies asset management tasks but also ensures that you can easily comply with software vendor audits. ZAO efficiently compiles an accurate inventory of software assets across all mainframe systems by running a batch job that detects loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. By consistently monitoring and reporting the usage of each asset, you gain valuable insights into software asset performance. In addition, ZAO enables you to incorporate licensing information for your vendor software assets, which is then cross-checked against the inventory and usage metrics of your mainframe systems to reveal areas for optimization and potential audit vulnerabilities. Implementing this comprehensive program not only boosts operational efficiency but also fortifies compliance and promotes strategic allocation of resources, ultimately positioning your organization for sustained success in a competitive landscape. Additionally, this proactive approach allows for timely adjustments to ever-evolving software needs, ensuring that your organization remains agile and responsive in the face of change.

What is Asset Vision?

Managing IT assets has evolved into an expensive dilemma, especially as security threats continue to grow. Studies show that numerous organizations waste valuable resources by keeping excessive amounts of unused workstation software.

If you find it challenging to track the ownership, location, and status of your assets, you may want to explore Asset Vision Workstation. This innovative tool is at the forefront of software usage metering technology, offering comprehensive usage insights for traditional and virtual applications, as well as those hosted on virtual desktops and online platforms. By adopting this advanced solution, organizations can enhance their oversight of IT assets, streamline their operations, and significantly cut down on unnecessary expenses, ultimately leading to improved resource allocation and better decision-making.
