Solutions Designed to Empower Developers and Scale IT Impact

Whether it’s a skills and talent shortage, a sea of change in customer expectations, or a myriad of other complications, it has never been more important for businesses to prioritize resiliency and agility—especially in mission-critical systems. In fact, research shows that companies that adopt agile practices can achieve up to 30% gains in efficiency, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and overall performance. Couple that with the cost of IT downtime soaring to $5 million per hour for high-risk industries and building resilience in IT infrastructure becomes a non-negotiable for businesses.  

Enterprise leaders need solutions that are purpose-built to help their organizations scale critical IT operations, close the IT skills gap and improve developer experience with intelligence and precision.  

With that goal in mind, Rocket Software’s Optimizing Skills and Efficiency solutions recently saw a series of updates and enhancements to help fuel even greater innovation. Through IT resiliency, automation, productivity-focused tools, and AI-powered agility, we enable technical teams to move faster, work smarter, and deliver more for their organization and customers—without adding complexity or risk. With these innovations, organizations can not only keep pace with a rapidly evolving digital landscape but gain a strategic edge through smarter resource utilization and stronger operational performance.  

Let’s dig into these solutions and see how they are supporting faster development, stronger system performance and greater IT resilience while minimizing complexity and risk.

Resilience, Automation, and AI-Powered Agility  

Modernization Without Disruption^™ is more than just a catchy phrase for Rocket Software. It’s what guides our approach to building solutions that deliver maximum impact for our customers. The new features brought forward in this update directly correlate with that mindset and strategy, giving developers and infrastructure teams even more pathways to building successful IT operations. Here’s what we’re bringing to the table with the latest update to our Optimizing Skills and Efficiency solutions:  

Rocket^® TMON^™: Now, organizations can maintain peak mainframe performance and remain competitive in an increasingly complex digital landscape. TMON enables users to proactively identify mainframe performance issues and anomalies before they impact operations.  

Leveraging optional AI-powered analytics, machine learning, and KPI measurement, TMON can detect performance issues and anomalies early, preventing operational disruptions.  

Rocket^® Workload Automation: A modernization journey doesn’t just impact technical users, it affects everyone in an organization. With self-service automation for Rocket Zena and Rocket Enterprise Orchestrator, non-technical users are empowered to independently manage and trigger automated processes.  

That means IT staff don’t need to spend as much time intervening for things like password issues, generating reports, or provisioning resources—now that can all be automated and managed by non-technical users. Considering the complexity surrounding organizations’ more sensitive processes, this solution helps break through common silos that slow innovation, without adding undue risk to the equation.  

Rocket^®  EDX: No matter the industry, long-term success hinges on efficiency and speed. Any opportunity to improve productivity can be transformational and bring about greater competitive advantages.  

With new, optional, AI-enabled search capabilities, organizations can cut down the time it takes to find and share critical documents with suppliers and other partners.  Ask EDX makes document management easier by leveraging natural language input, whether through voice or text, cutting search time by up to 40%.

Rocket^® Rapid Data Recovery: Disasters don’t often give advanced notice. A cyberattack or natural disaster can wreak havoc on IT infrastructure, threatening costly downtime as teams scramble to get systems back up.  

Rocket Rapid Data Recovery is a surgical data recovery solution that recovers data from a single point in time at the data set level for Dell zDP, and at the snapshot level for IBM SafeGuarded Copy, within minutes, not hours or days. This reduces downtime and ensures compliance with stringent regulations, and the recovery is surgical, so customers don’t have to inefficiently mass-recover data, which takes a lot longer to do.

Rocket^® MultiValue Developer Assistant: This optional GenAI-powered tool helps streamline the generation, autocompletion, and explanation of MV BASIC code. That means greater productivity for both new and experienced developers. New Developers can speed up time to productivity from months to weeks. Experienced developers can automate their code generation and commentary. Rocket MultiValue Developer Assistant enables both new and experienced developers to better maintain MultiValue-based applications.  

Rocket^® Uniface^® Developer Assistant (Beta): With more optional AI-powered capabilities, the Rocket Uniface Developer Assistant is built on industry-leading Large Language Models (LLMs) for coding. Users are able to tap into a conversational interface to better navigate Uniface documentation. The feature also helps make learning the platform easier and quicker for new developers, generating ProcScript code, explaining it in plain language, and adding comments to existing code, thus improving code clarity with AI-driven insights.
