Tony, I don't know about you, but the only responses I've seen on-list have been the chatter revolving around it. I haven't seen any actual numbers coming across the listserv.
Maybe my filters are already hiding them. :-) Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Tony B.

You should have asked for private replies. We might be interested in the summary but not the ongoing tabulation. ............updating my subject line filter. :-((((((( -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Bill Washburn Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 10:59 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: How big of a staff do you have on your mainframe? This might seem like an odd request- But, as part of the platform analysis we're undertaking, I'd like to gauge how our staff size compares with other companies' resource allocation to their mainframe. What I'd like to know is how many employees/contractors do various companies have supporting and working within their mainframe environment, broken down in a few broad categories. 1) application developers 2) system programmers 3) operators 4) any other staff specifically dedicated to the MF (B/A's, managers, etc) 5) contractors/consultants dedicated to your MF 6) total company employees Also, what operating system are you on? (VSE, z\OS, etc) For the record, our answers are 1) 4 2) 1 3) 0 4) 2 5) 1 6) 4100 and we're VSE, with about 40% of our total data processing taking place on our mainframe, and the remainder on other platforms.
