RES Suite and Its Variety of Products and Services
The RES Suite is comprised of over 20 complementary and synergistic products, based on a central repository that collects very detailed levels of “knowledge” about the IT environment. This enables the suite to be available for systems of governance, operations, automation, quality control, engineering of applications software and data management. The RES Suite products are also multiplatform: they are able to provide solutions on virtually all systems including z/OS mainframe, Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
RES Suite | Endorsed to Provide High-Quality Management
The expertise available through the RES organization is in perfect alignment with the RES Suite products which are geared towards the support of the IT Management Enterprise. This ensures the optimization of the processes and systems governance for all areas of business including:
- • Strategic Direction and IT Management
- • Change Management and Quality Assurance
- • Application Management
- • Facility Management
- • Data & Data Quality Management
Strategic Direction and IT Management
Having a repository of knowledge that provides detailed, comprehensive information about system components across the enterprise supplies IT management with an essential instrument of support for strategic decisions. Greater awareness and certainty of the outcome is made possible for decisions such as:
- • Substituting or deleting an obsolete or inefficient component
- • Moving an existing application to a lower-cost platform
- • The review for the on-going provision of AM contracts that were once deemed too expensive in relation to their quality
In this area, the RES Suite provides solutions that effectively support IT management in their decisions about the evolution of their systems.

ARPA QA-Me is a system for the measurement of applications software that enables the assessment of the quality and of the cost of the management of applications based on a set of various metrics.
Change Management and Quality
The introduction of automated tools for the management of the change in the life cycle of applications has reduced the defects caused by errors generated when moving new releases of the software through different environments. Nevertheless, errors still occur on objects not supported by current change management tools, such as Scripts, JCL and DDL. Added to this are the errors typically encountered from incomplete analysis of the quality of new or modified code.
RES Suite, with its included quality control capabilities and its identification of obsolete objects and its ever-changing life cycle support, can be interfaced with the most popular automated change management tools to effectively provide answers on these issues and many others.

Application Management
Application management is comprised of a series of tools that are oriented to the issues of productivity and quality of work for staff involved in application development. This enables users to operate more efficiently through access to a knowledge repository which provides additional detail regarding information about applications that can result in reduced cost and effort in application management.
Application management is also available for the mainframe platform running z-os with DB2, along with all platforms in the IT environment. Docet/MP, Wic, Docet IAU, JADe and UpTown/MP provide robust solutions for this important area of information systems.

Facility Management
The efficiency of batch processes has always been very important to mainframe-based systems. It is equally important now to batch processes being run on distributed platforms. Through their ability to automatically generate batch scripts and batch scheduling networks, RES Suite tools are enabled to correctly respond to various automatic functions for rerun/restart features, anticipate possible delays in execution, and to identify critical paths in the processing environment. The RES Suite tools for this area ensure consistent quality results and excellent coverage of even the most widespread and complex environments.
