SimpList™ is a must-have product for every mainframe site. The extremely powerful and fully integrated workbench environment is far superior to the traditional ISPF™ mainframe interface. Instead of constantly moving between many different panels and vendor products, tasks are performed in a highly intuitive and centralized location using simple point-and-shoot selection.

The SimpList interface is much easier to learn and use than regular ISPF, and no formal training is required. Regardless of job title or experience level, the productivity of every mainframe user from novice to expert increases dramatically. Tasks are completed far more quickly, with much less effort, and at greatly reduced cost.

The following image demonstrates just one of the many time-saving panels found in SimpList. Depending on your internet browser, the image may need to be clicked to activate the rollover feature.

As shown by the preceding image, SimpList eliminates many of the productivity barriers faced by regular ISPF users. For example:

The traditional mainframe interface consists of many different panels and vendor products. Learning how to get to each panel and what each panel does, and constantly navigating between panels and vendor products is an unnecessary waste of time. The result is lost productivity, a steep learning curve, and higher costs.

SimpList removes the need to navigate by allowing multiple objects to be selected for multiple functions from a single location. When an object is selected, SimpList automatically launches the appropriate tool or vendor product. New users are trained in a fraction of the regular time, and every user is instantly more productive.

Even the fastest typist spends a large part of every day entering and re-entering commands and object names. Some commands and objects can be dozens of characters in length. Typing mistakes are inevitably made, requiring additional time and effort to correct.

SimpList reduces typing by allowing each user to permanently store thousands of objects and commands. Once stored, any object can be selected or any command can be executed by simply pointing a cursor or clicking a mouse.

An average mainframe user is required to remember dozens or even hundreds of object names and commands. When object names are forgotten, expensive catalog searches are performed. When a command name or syntax is forgotten, time and effort is required to find the correct reference manual to search for command syntax.

SimpList not only stores objects and commands for future reference, but allows any object or command to be given a short, easy-to-remember alias known as a ‘label’. Objects with labels can be selected from anywhere in ISPF by simply entering the label name on the command line.
