10 Ways to Save Money on the Mainframe seminar

During the month of March we held 3 editions of the "10 Ways to Save Money on the Mainframe" seminar in Frankfurt, Milan and Manchester.
We had over 100 attendees on the whole, with very enthusiastic feedback.
We're now considering the opportunity to repeat again the seminar, in new countries but also in different regions in Germany, Italy and UK.
