This is a newly published Whitepaper that I have just finished writing with the help of an IBM colleague of mine, Tim Sipples. It is aimed at information technology (IT) architects, project mangers, and other decision makers who are considering their options for new IT projects. It focuses on the merits of deploying new applications to the System z platform, and in particular, to an environment managed by CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS).

The whitepaper does not assume a great deal of prior knowledge. In this regard, it can also serve as a good introduction for those who want to learn about CICS TS and the IBM System z platform. Additionally, it can be a useful document for existing clients who are not aware of (or taking advantage of) the unique capabilities of a modern CICS TS for z/OS deployment.

It is available from this link : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1083&uid=swg27013865

Any feedback would be much appreciated. See if you can spot the 'deliberate' spelling mistake...
