System Development and Program Consulting Services for IBM OS/MVS Mainframe and IBM System 390 Computer Operating Systems

We are committed to creating the finest customized IBM mainframe systems in the industry. We are experts at database design and database development using hierarchical or relational databases such as DB2 and IMS.

Viking Waters will design, create, and install superb new IBM mainframe applications to your order and train your people to use them

We will program all the work for a customized solution directly on your computer system either on-site, via direct phone link, or your VPN.   We have COBOL programmers, PL/I programmers and programmers who know the language of your choice.

All work will conform to your development and documentation standards and will be thoroughly tested.
 

Viking Waters will create the exact report you need from your existing mainframe databases.

If you are not sure of what you need, our consulting analysts will talk to your people to find out what will work best to solve your reporting problems and then design it. Then our programers will create the program or programs necessary to create a report to solve your problem.
 

Most documentation for customized systems is notoriously poor. The average office or factory worker often fails to understand the instructions because they are either written in "computerize" or so poorly organized as to be incomprehensible.

Viking Waters understands the frustration of the user when faced with poorly-written documentation. We pride ourselves on the quality of the documentation we produce. The systems we produce for you will be properly documented, both to your standards and to the requirements of your eventual users.

Our consultants, programmers, and analysts average over 20 years experience developing quality business solutions on IBM mainframe systems.

We can provide one specialist, a few programmer/analysts, management personnel, or an entire project team.

Your MIS department's best analysts and programmers are hard at work on the new system that will launch the company into the 21st century. They're up against a deadline and putting in 12 hours a day 7 days a week.

However, your boss needs some major changes to an existing COBOL system that uses DB2 heavily, and a couple of PL/I programs to comply with a new government regulation.

Time to call Viking Waters.

Our people are experts at finding the best way to design and program a change or upgrade existing systems while ignoring the pitfalls.
 

A project isn't over just because the programs are installed and the documentation is complete. The people who need to use the new system on a day-to-day basis have to be trained in its use.

We don't consider our job complete until your people are comfortably trained to use the new system and its tools.

Viking Waters can also assist you to set up training programs for other systems that you may already have in-house or may have newly acquired.
 

Early computer salesmen had to deal with a clientele that didn't always understand computers. At the same time, competition was fierce. Creative marketing was required to sell a mainframe computer.
