COBOL applications

� Increase workload throughput by up to 130%

� Further lowers cost per transaction and

accelerates time to market

– 26+ Billion Transactions Per Day Run on IMS

IMS 13 Simplicity & Affordability Simplicity:

–New Web interface for easier administration

–Expanded Eclipse-based function with IMS Explorer

–Easier IMS data access using SQL from COBOL and .NET apps

Affordability – Significant CPU Savings for IMS Clients


Up to 10% Up to 15% Up to 62%CPU savings for traditional

workloadsCPU savings for specialized

workloads CPU savings for Java

workloads

““““..IMS 13 upgrades have been really easy to implement and have run very smoothly. I have been really impressed by the ease of installing the new version and shipping it to our systems."

– United Kingdom-based Bank

Affordability – Significant CPU Savings for IMS Clients

New Monthly License Charge (MLC) Pricing StrategyIMS 11, 12 & 13 all cost the same

DB2 9, 10 and 11 all cost the sameSimpler model

– Prices equalized across all versions of MLC middleware– New versions announce at flat VTV– Price increases addressed with a single annual GPA across the MLC portfolio

Why?– Removes pricing obstacle to version upgrades


– Removes pricing obstacle to version upgrades– Provide consistency of price changes over time– More closely aligns with industry SW pricing practices

When?– 3Q13/4Q13 announcements equalize prices

• Includes IMS, DB2, and COBOL• CICS was previously equalized• Effective January 2014 (April 1 in Japan)

– 4Q13 DB2 and IMS GA with no additional price increase – 2015 GPA (general price action) for MLC products

EXTERNAL ANNOUNCEMENT LETTER 313-070 8.27.13

Introducing: IMS Database Value Unit Edition
