Dan: Contact me off line, if you would. Some questions are:
Is the zSeries only or z and LUW? Do they schedule for more than one environment? The obvious question; How many batch processes are scheduled, on average? Do they support lots and lots of "on request" and "on demand" jobs? Do they have a "high" abend rate? What workload automation tool are the currently using? Do they have an automated change management tool that "automatically" implements changes into production?

They claim to have about 20 scheduling employees. In my past xperience, that seems about 4x too high. So I thought I'd ask the group he following question: How many job schedulers do you have, and how many MIPS is the environment? I promise not to reveal where I got any of this information from, I only ant the statistics.
