IBM Opens Latin America’s First Mainframe Software Center

IBM (NYSE: IBM) has opened a mainframe software competency center in São Paulo, Brazil, enabling local companies to build, test and run applications on the IBM mainframe without impacting their current technical environment or requiring crucial resources to be assigned toward pilot programs.
The System z Center also offers software training and business guidance on how the IBM mainframe can deliver faster and customized solutions through proven case studies and innovative testing techniques.

“The System z Center brings a controlled environment for companies with limited resources to test and plan for specific initiatives, such as running database middleware on the mainframe, to support a new business project,” said Paulo Carvao, global vice president of System z sales at IBM. “Customers will benefit from gaining best practices for more seamless and faster deployment while maintaining optimal business continuity.”
