CICS Report Viewing

The Bottleneck

The modern large enterprise depends on the data center for efficient storage, easy access and instant availability of information - at all times, with no errors.

Most conventional report management systems fall short of the total solution. Reports are often lost or routed to the wrong location. Critical data can't be found or accessed, information arrives late, time is wasted, and opportunities are lost. As costs spiral in terms of time and materials, the datacenter falls behind, users become frustrated and the enterprise ultimately suffers.

More than a simple solution

Mantissa first recognized these problems long ago and responded by developing RMS – the world’s first report distribution and management software product. RMS represented breakthrough technology which catapulted report management and distribution to new levels of efficiency and productivity.

But the vision didn’t stop there. RMS has continued to evolve along with the datacenter, anticipating enterprise demands and delivering far more than a simple solution to immediate problems. Its open design and extensibility help you to navigate the constantly shifting landscape of technology with security and ease. The system’s power keeps your operation efficient and productive no matter how quickly your company grows.

Breaking through

RMS/Online replaces conventional report management strategies with the most powerful automation solution available. With RMS, data is gathered and arranged within your company's system, and is made instantly available for viewing on workstation screens. Multiple reports can be viewed, compared, annotated and reformatted. No more error-prone print jobs, no more reports delivered to the wrong locations. RMS gives you the total automation solution for total information management...

The Report Management System

A layered approach to productivity — RMS provides three powerful layers that work together to improve the productivity and efficiency of your data center.

The presentation layer
delivers important capabilities for report output. For example, you can replace VTAM printers with AFP printers, or deliver reports to multiple desktop systems rather than on paper or via SNA or TCP/IP networks.

The transport layer
allows integration with remote systems. Network your system regardless of location — whether across the hall, town or continents.

The repository layer offers virtually unlimited storage management capabilities. Whether you want ten thousand reports online or a million, a gigabyte or even a terabyte of capability, RMS has the power to manage it.

Absolute power for absolute effectiveness

RMS goes far beyond conventional report management systems by providing trouble-free 24x7x365 operation with around-the-clock efficiency and productivity. RMS enables seamless access and viewing of reports directly from your application. Reports are automatically bundled, tracked, archived and directed to RMS/Spool for output and distribution. RMS Online under CICS enables viewing of multiple reports within a single viewing session.

RMS gives you a more effective reporting environment for a more effective enterprise by putting the power of automation to work for your datacenter.

Exceptional payback, unlimited potential

RMS delivers the capability, extensibility, and reliability crucial to effective datacenter operation. You'll recover your investment in record time, enhance the usability of information, and position your enterprise for future growth, never stopping short of full potential...
