Customer Quote
"Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall AG and VR Kreditwerk Hamburg-Schwäbisch Hall
AG has successfully
deployed APS for z/OS 5.0
in March 2003. The effort involved for product installation, customization and testing was only 21
man-days… With this upgrade there was no
source modification or additional training for development staff required; our 80 mainframe APS programmers have not been affected by this release."
