What does DMS/CMS do?
DMS/CMS is a tool for creating and displaying panels within the CMS environment on z/VM. It allows developers to design user interfaces and present information to users in a structured manner. It simplifies the process of building interactive applications on the CMS platform.
Is this a system, application, or tool?
DMS/CMS is primarily a toolset for application development. It provides the necessary commands and interfaces to design, create, and display panels. It is not a complete system or application on its own, but rather a utility that enhances the capabilities of the CMS environment.
What types of organizations use this?
Organizations that rely on the z/VM operating system and the CMS environment for application development can benefit from DMS/CMS. This includes enterprises in industries such as finance, insurance, and government that have a significant investment in mainframe technology. Any organization needing to create interactive, panel-based applications on CMS would find it useful.
When should we consider DMS/CMS?
A company should consider using DMS/CMS when they need to develop or maintain applications that require a panel-based user interface within the CMS environment. If the organization is already using CMS and needs a more efficient way to design and display panels, DMS/CMS can provide significant productivity gains.
What are the alternatives to DMS/CMS?
Alternatives to DMS/CMS include other panel management tools or custom-built solutions. Some organizations might opt to use more modern web-based technologies for new applications, but DMS/CMS remains relevant for maintaining existing CMS-based systems. Other tools might offer similar panel creation capabilities, but DMS/CMS is specifically designed for the CMS environment.
