The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user-friendly the solution is. Traditionally, when we use a mainframe system to submit jobs, we have to see the spool or any error we might get in the spool. It is very command-based and uses a green screen, which is not user-friendly. Micro Focus enterprise makes it easy to submit and view jobs. We just have to log into the particular portal, go to the catalog and view any files we want. The same can be said about submitting jobs. We know what JCL we want to submit, give it the path, and then submit it with no command required. It is very user-friendly.

We actually put someone that I used to work with in contact with my account people and basically says, "It's there, it works really well, but you've still got to put a lot of effort in yourselves." So, if anybody tries to sell you a solution that says, "Don't worry, we do everything." Don't believe them. It's not true. But, Cloud Service Automation met all our needs. The only cautious thing now is, I want to see more innovation going forward, because the world is changing and we don't see that rate of change in HPE. We're worried about what's happening with HPE and CSC and the merge. Hopefully that won’t dilute the solution going forward.
