© 2010 IBM Corporation Business Analytics 3 What is your capability to plan? We have a firm grasp on our growth projections and use a tool to manage and monitor our existing capacity & growth. We have a reasonable idea of our growth and yet believe we could do more. We are using a vendors tool to monitor our current situation but would like to be better prepared. We are concerned about our current future capacity planning methodology as we intend to grow our use of the mainframe and need better guidance and predictability. We are using SAS/MXG and are looking for a replacement at a lower cost and with newer function. We dont use any tools/automation and feel we should.

It is intended to match as many of the existing SAS/MXG functions and features as possible in Release 1 and will be enhanced over time. Rather than compare feature for feature, think in terms of what you will be able to do over time with less cost and greater flexibility. The IBM solution is not intended to be a full SAS replacement option; that will require significantly more resources and services though it can be done if you so desire. ** Internal Use Only **
