mainframes are more efficient and less expensive to operate.

Specifically:
o 44% lower cost per credit card transaction
o 31% lower IT spend per consumer loan
o 26% lower cost per new vehicle
o 25% lower cost per mega watt hour produced
o 25% lower cost per retail store
o 24% lower cost per hospital bed
o 23% lower cost per barrel of oil
o 20% lower cost per airline passenger
Exhaustive TCO studies, conducted in actual customer environments, continue to
show that mainframes are less expensive Enterprise technology to own, operate
and upgrade that alternative platforms.
