Continuous improvement initiatives
There's nothing more frustrating than dealing with vendors who do not re-invest and enhance their software on Z. At SEA, we understand this and we’ve made it a priority not only to enhance existing software, but also develop new solutions on Z, such as our Eclipse plug-ins for Compuware Topaz, Micro Focus Enterprise Workbench and IBM IDz.
