Conversion to smaller server with relational database, connected via PDAs.  ::&NT::&Just upgraded to zSeries (from MP3000).  Major project is database consolidation of some 200 databases across several platforms and database types to Oracle 10g on SUSE9 under z/VM.

<BR><BR>Major reduction in license expense.
<BR><BR>As most servers were last replaced for Y2K, and have been scheduled to be replaced, replacement via mainframe, is a major cost reduction.
<BR><BR>Consolidation of these database functions to one location, instead of 150  locations eases support and recovery.
<BR><BR>Backup and disaster recovery is trivial on mainframe.
<BR><BR>No viruses.
<BR><BR>Reliability.
<BR><BR>Near zero downtime.::&About 200,000 transactions on first shift.
<BR><BR>Single mainframe z/890 Model 130 (about 90 mips, 25% utilization).

<BR><BR>The City of St. Louis has a population of about 390,000 people and 100,000 businesses.  Our citizens are our customers.  Also, all businesses are our customers.

<BR><BR>
<BR><BR>The ROI was more seat of the pants.  If we could consolidate 15-20 current database servers to the mainframe, we would hit the break even point on the cost of the upgrade.  
<BR><BR>
<BR><BR>Anything futher, is gravy.
<BR><BR>
<BR><BR>When looking at the budgets, mainframe vs networking resources (including client server), the mainframe side is less then 20% of the total budget and compose less then 2% of the problems.::&&&&&&
