Frequently Asked Questions

We're already running our mainframe applications in-house — why would we bring in AMS instead of just hiring more staff?
Because AMS gives you access to specialized COBOL, DB2, and CICS expertise on demand, without the cost and lead time of hiring, training, and retaining niche mainframe talent — especially as the skilled workforce shrinks industry-wide.
If something breaks at 2 AM, who do we call and how fast do you respond?
You get access to our team under defined response-time SLAs, so critical issues are triaged and worked immediately rather than waiting for business hours.
Can you take over our existing applications as-is, or do we need to redevelop them first?
We can take over your current environment as-is. Modernization and re-architecting are offered as a separate track if and when you want it — it's not a prerequisite to getting support.
We're worried about compliance audits — will AMS help us pass them?
Yes. We run regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and compliance checks aligned to your industry's regulatory requirements, so you have documentation ready ahead of an audit rather than scrambling during one.
What happens to our data and access if we ever want to switch providers or bring things back in-house?
That's a fair transition-planning question best addressed in your services agreement — happy to walk through how handover and data ownership are typically structured during a consultation.
Our batch jobs have been running slower lately — is that something you'd catch, or do we need to report it?
Proactive performance monitoring is part of the service, so degradation like slower batch cycles is typically flagged and addressed before it becomes a support ticket on your end.
We're planning to scale up next year — can our support plan flex with us, or is it a fixed contract?
Capacity planning is built in — we forecast based on your usage trends so the service scales with you rather than requiring a contract renegotiation every time your environment grows.
What's the actual cost difference versus keeping this in-house?
It varies by environment size and current staffing costs, but most clients see savings from avoiding specialist hiring/training overhead — happy to put together a cost comparison specific to your setup on a call.
How do we get started — is there a trial period or do we commit right away?
Start with a free consultation where we assess your environment and scope a customized plan before anything is signed.
