It was a pleasure meeting you.
We enjoyed chatting with you at SHARE Columbus 2022. We always leave technology conferences smarter about the realities of IT management, learning a thing or two from the people working in the trenches. This year was no different.
Many of the conference attendees took a minute or two to give us some thoughtful input about the critical technologies that they work with, so we thought we would share some of the results with you.
The survey results are down below, just after a quick word about our next webinar coming up tomorrow. |

Survey Results...
Our first question asked respondents which mainframe databases their company works with.
Our conference sample manages 2 database technologies on average, with 90% of our conference sample using DB2, and likely at least one additional technology. IMS and Oracle had the greatest share aside from DB2 at 48% and 34% respectively.

Our follow-up question asked which mainframe software languages their organization works with.
The average respondent’s enterprise employs 3.5 mainframe software languages, with COBOL having the highest share at 86%. Java, Rexx, and Assembler take nearly equal share of the second-tier between 60-70% each.

We also asked conference attendees which Mainframe DevOps Area Products their organization works with.
Most organizations stick with a primary and in some cases secondary technology to manage their DevOps. Endevor and GitLab shared the top spot at 36% each, with Zowe a close second at 32%. BMC, SonarQube and “other” combined took the remaining share.

|
|
To round out our questionnaire, we asked which Mainframe Impact Analysis tools are you using?
Most use standard IBM z built-in tools with over half reporting it as their tool of choice. BMC came in second with 28%, and IBM Rational third at 22%.
