NewEra Software, Inc.
NewEra Software, Inc. was founded in 1990 with the specific goal of developing leading-edge mainframe integrity tools for z/OS environments. Today, their AI-infused ICE suite includes image inspection, control-editing and recovery modules, enabling validation, anomaly detection, change tracking and compliance enforcement. NewEra Software has become an industry leader and has set the standard for repair, data erasure, continuous backups and mainframe resiliency. All of these ensure the ongoing integrity of critical production mainframes worldwide.
Image FOCUS delivers comprehensive image inspections of z/OS, dynamically building a virtual IPL environment that validates system parameters, dataset integrity, referential integrity, PARMLIB syntax and much more while identifying potential IPL risks. Features such as Sysplex Inspection, Automated Change Detection, New Release Analysis and Dynamic Change Detection strengthen readiness and simplify upgrades. Now enhanced with AI, it uncovers hidden risks, highlights configuration insights and provides intelligent recommendations, helping teams detect issues earlier, optimize planning and maintain long-term operational integrity with confidence.
The Control Editor (TCE) is an AI-infused mainframe utility that manages and enforces system controls across z/OS. It allows teams to view, edit and validate the backup of critical configuration components PARMLIB members, PROCLIBs and system configuration data with precision and consistency. With automated change tracking and compliance awareness, TCE reduces risk and ensures policy adherence. Its 3270 and web interfaces simplify management, improve audit readiness and strengthen system security. As an enhancement to RACF, it enforces microsegmentation essential to Zero Trust.
IPLCheck/AI is Image FOCUS running directly under the IBM Health Checker. It performs full inspections, detects Health Check exceptions and identifies dynamic configuration changes such as in-memory parameters that differ from prior IPL parameters. Results are delivered as realtime alerts or interval reports, accessible through 3270 and/or web interfaces. With AI-enhanced analysis, IPLCheck/AI uncovers hidden risks, improves compliance awareness and strengthens the integrity and resiliency of your z/OS environment. Alerts route to ServiceNow or are sent via FTP.
