SZS Consulting

SZS was founded by David Wilson who retired from IBM after 30 years service in March 2010. From 1996 he was responsible for IBM's mainframe software business in the UK and since 2000 for the business at European level. In that position he worked with many of the European and global customers first hand as total installed capacity grew 5 times.

Many of the [unannounced] special terms and exceptions to IBM's standard licensing and pricing policies were developed by David and first implemented in Europe.
