The Business Case for Integrated IT Infrastructure Stacks (by Wikibon)
A Research Study by Wikibon*
Wikibon conducted in-depth interviews with senior people who are using Unisys mainframe
integrated stacks. The mainframe systems were all supporting mission-critical OLTP. Overall,
the cost of a typical mainframe integrated stacks mission-critical OLTP system was 19% lower at
$2,383/OLTP seat/year. The most important finding was that the availability and speed of change
for the integrated stack was significantly better, leading to potential improved productivity
for the end user. About 80% of the total cost to the business are the end-user costs, and small
improvements in productivity have significant effects of the overall cost efficiency of the
OLTP systems.
