Mainframe Academy
Of course there has been concern about the lack of mainframe skills for a while now, as businesses struggle to find staff with appropriate mainframe skills as their own mainframe experts reach retirement age.
This led CA Technologies for example in March to announce the launch of a ‘Mainframe Academy’ to help develop mainframe talent. It even donated $1 million (£613,000) to fund scholarships at its Mainframe Academy.
In July meanwhile Compuware coughed up $256 million (£160m) in order to acquire dynaTrace, as part of its efforts to solidify its position in the application performance management software market.
