Q&A with Erich Clementi, zSeries General Manager
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Erich Clementi, the general manager of IBM's zSeries mainframe product line within its Systems & Technology Group, is a hard-core mainframer, just like many of the other executives who have run the Enterprise Systems Division, S/390 Division, and zSeries Division before him.

There's much more to consider in business integration planning. READ MORE >
(Enterprise Systems) IBM's mainframe business is a big target and has been for many years. As such, it is subject to ridicule and criticism on a number of fronts, and many of these have merit. Modernizing applications, maintaining a skilled workforce, and the high cost of buying and maintaining hardware and software are three points that deserve to be in the spotlight.
