    BOSTON, MA, December 10, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ASG Software Solutions, a recognized innovator in enterprise IT software solutions, today announced its immediate support for IBM z/OS V2.2, the latest upgrade to IBM's mainframe operating system. ASG's support for the z/OS v2.2 upgrade extends through its market leading ASG TMON and ASG PERFMAN performance and capacity management solutions, empowering enterprises to manage an efficient and cost-effective mainframe environment that supports investments in revenue-driving digital technologies.
