The Intelligence You Trust—Now More Usable Than Ever

Mainframe Resource Intelligence (MRI) is built to make managing your mainframe feel less like guesswork and more like guided discovery. It helps teams uncover opportunities, streamline complexity, and better understand what’s happening under the hood–from software configurations and license usage to capacity bottlenecks and security gaps. 

While clear insight is powerful on its own, it’s even more valuable with someone to help you navigate it. That’s why MRI comes with something unique: direct access to Broadcom’s tenured mainframe expertise–at no additional cost. These experts act like seasoned trail guides, helping you interpret findings, spot priorities, and move forward with confidence. 

So, how do we improve upon that? We’ve transformed the user experience to make uncovering insights through assessments are even easier to access and action. That’s why the latest MRI experience isn’t just a facelift, but rather a usability rethink designed around how mainframers actually work. 

Welcome to the New MRI User Experience

MRI’s intuitive assessment catalog interface

Some highlights from the new experience include:

• A New Look, Built for Speed and Clarity
  The top navigation bar has shifted to a left-aligned layout, making key sections easier to find and navigate. Folders (formerly “datacenters”) are now clearly labeled, intuitive groupings for your uploaded files. And yes, there’s a dark mode for those midnight maintenance windows.
• Expert Help, When and Where You Need It
  MRI has always offered the ability to connect with Broadcom experts. But now, Get Expert Assistance is embedded across the full workflow–from the catalog and wizard to the report view itself. That means guidance is never more than a click away, right when you’re making key decisions.
• An Easier Start to Every Assessment
  The redesigned catalog page features streamlined descriptions and immediate access to report samples. Uploads now begin with a simple step: select your files. We’ve reversed the flow to better match how people use MRI in the real world. Already have the toolkit? No problem. Start with the data and go from there.
• The Wizard, Reinvented
  The “Upload Files and Request Report” wizard has been reimagined for smoother operation. Visual feedback confirms file validity in real time, while a refined table view highlights only compatible data for your selected assessment.
• Privacy and Security, Front and Center
  Data handling practices are now explained inline on the catalog page so your team, or your security office, can understand what’s collected, how it’s used, and why it’s safe. And, as always, your data is protected and in your control, as industry privacy and data security principles are followed.
• Precision 2 Framework, Shared Across Broadcom
  MRI’s new interface uses Broadcom’s award-winning Precision 2 Design System, the same framework behind other modern business web applications within the portfolio. This creates a consistent user experience and makes it easier to maintain and expand over time.
  
  

It’s Not Just a Tool. It’s a Transformation Layer.

MRI isn’t about getting reports. It’s about knowing where and how to act. Whether you’re reviewing software risk, identifying unused capacity, or checking for misconfigured subsystems, MRI and the expert-backed guidance that comes along with it makes complex environments comprehensible and manageable.

This new user experience doesn’t change the intelligence MRI delivers. It amplifies it and helps teams see faster, decide smarter, and execute with confidence.
