Over the past decade, the Information Technology industry has seen major growth in the development of PC and Client/Server applications. Despite the attention on these new technologies, the Mainframe has kept its prominent role in data processing as the first choice for the development and maintenance of business applications on a large network of terminals. The number of Mainframe business applications still in use today is even more evident with the need to provide solutions for the Year 2000.

Information Balance is now offering a set of courses that addresses the requirements of individuals working in a Mainframe environment. The courses provide a comprehensive review of the MVS operating environment and how to use the tools and subsystems available in MVS to develop and maintain applications. From introductory to advanced levels, we teach the COBOL language in the context of developing batch applications, online applications using CICS and IMS/DC and applications using DB2. All our Mainframe courses provide extensive, hands-on workshops.
