A Partnership From ‘A to z/OS’, So You’ll Never Have To Go It Alone


To ensure your mainframe, talent and future innovations get the expert guidance they deserve, Beyond Code focuses on 3 strategic areas: Optimization, Education and Innovation.

Beyond Code: Optimization

Reinforcing the Backbone of Today’s IT Infrastructure


Over 72% of the world’s transactional workloads are run on mainframes.1 Keeping efficiency high and cost low is key—that’s why we created Beyond Code: Optimization. Think of it as an all-access pass for keeping your mainframe running seamlessly.

  • 71% of Fortune 500 companies rely on mainframes as their core business operations platform...2

    While using cloud and other tech to fill the gaps.

  • And, top-performing companies use 10% more mainframe AND cloud.3

    Takeaway: Winning organizations use hybrid architecture to grow their business, and mainframe is a crucial component.

  • So it’s critical to keep your mainframe in top shape. In fact, companies who prioritize optimization report $25M in annual savings.4

We see a continuing theme with Broadcom in that not only do they not attempt to profit from their educational offerings, but they are willing to invest in this area.

RICK PITTMAN | VP Research, InfoTech

We now have somebody who’s trained as a master DBA. It would take years to accomplish that. Broadcom has done it in 14 weeks. I would strongly recommend participation in the Vitality Residency Program.

LINDA HAGEDORN | Technical Manager III Database & Middleware, CISA, Guardian

We recently had 17 associates complete Broadcom’s Vitality Residency Program. Building mainframe skills in this manner creates a resilient workforce for Banrisul. We’re proud of the tangible skills and knowledge gained from the program.

ADILSON SILVEIRA DE SOUZA | Executive Manager, Banrisul
