Mainframe Optimisation & Cost Reduction
CPT is recognised as a world leading organisation in mainframe tuning and cost reduction. CPT’s innovative cost reduction service uses automated tools, proven processes and a highly experienced team. The CPT approach produces rapid results in most cases, with some clients realising cost savings of 25%.
A unique part of CPT’s service is our willingness to base fees on a share of the savings the client makes, whether software, hardware or outsourced service costs. With this approach CPT shares the risk of the project and ensures a clear ROI for the client. Other pricing models are offered if this “Risk Reward” model does not suit, this includes diagnostic engagements or T&M engagements.
CPT reviews 100% of what runs, why it runs, and how it runs, for cost and capacity reduction opportunities.

- Available resource usage optimisation
- Software license cost rationalisation
- Monitoring optimisation
