EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Phoenix Software International, Inc., today announced they have entered into an agreement with IBM® under which Phoenix Software International has licensed the source code for IBM’s z/OS JES3 spooling subsystem, offering a solution to clients wishing to remain on JES3.
“As a founding member of what eventually became the SHARE JES3 Task Force, Phoenix Software has been working since mid-2017 with customers and IBM to find a simple, no-cost alternative to a JES2 conversion. Today we’re proud to announce an agreement with IBM to provide JES3 customers with exactly that,” said Ed Jaffe, Chief Technology Officer at Phoenix Software International. “Phoenix Software’s offering is based on IBM’s JES3, is fully supported, has a road map for enhancements, and can be implemented by existing IBM JES3 customers through a trivial migration and at no additional cost.”
