Most of the shops(all have been VM/VSE) I have worked at in my 30 year career have had the Operations area and Systems programming area separate reporting areas. When I first started here at the school it was the operations staff reported to the systems programming area. Six months later we are broken out and both report to the programming manager..... go figure that.

One of those suggestions is moving our Computer Operations section be part of and managed by the Systems Programming manager. I am curious about how the other mainframe organizations that are watching this list are organized, and what their approximate overall company size is. Along with any other details or pros and cons you want to throw in. We are a VM & VSE shop with five Computer Operators and three Systems Programmers. Thank you
