As the mainframe workforce evolves with retiring veterans, savvy organizations are modernizing to attract the next generation of talent. BMC commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the return on investment enterprises may realize by deploying BMC AMI DevX. Forrester interviewed eight representatives from six enterprises in healthcare and financial services, then combined their experiences into a single composite organization with $10 billion in revenue, 300 mainframe developers, and a 20 million line mainframe codebase. The results below reflect that composite.

What six enterprises measured with BMC AMI DevX
Forrester measured the following outcomes for the composite organization over three years.
-
217% return on investment over three years.
-
33% increase in developer coding time, equivalent to adding 25 full-time developers.
-
50% reduction in onboarding time, from 9 months to 4.5 months.
-
99% reduction in application downtime, combining 33% fewer failed releases with 98% faster recovery.
-
50% increase in deployment frequency, from four releases per year to six.
-
Up to 900% more programs changed per release, from 10 to 100, supported by program analysis in BMC AMI DevX Code Insights and the IDE in BMC AMI DevX Workbench.
Over three years, the composite organization realized $26.2 million in benefits against $8.3 million in costs, for a net present value of $18.0 million. Costs include platform licensing, implementation effort, ongoing administration, and developer training.
These weren’t tech startups. They were established enterprises, each with teams of 80 to 475 developers, confronting the same pressures you face today. And they’ve shown what’s possible with the right approach.
