Scott Barry

Scott has more than 35 years of experience with IBM computing systems, managing clients’ large-scale operations for resource usage billing (chargeback), monitoring system/application performance, and ensuring sufficient computing capacity is available at all times. He is a Principal Consultant and part-owner of SBBWorks, Inc. website: sbbworks.com, a consultancy firm delivering client support and consulting services for IBM mainframe computing systems. Assignments involve software remote administration, staff training, and mentoring, competitive software conversions, software development/support, and data center consolidations. He has worked with corporations and government entities to maximize the use of strategic software products such as CA MICS, Merrill’s MXG, and SAS programming-language software.

Scott began his professional career with AT&T Long Lines in 1977, where he participated in the early-release deployment of UCC7/UCC11 (MVS job-scheduler software), replacing a CLIST/script-based production scheduling system. In 1981, he joined Johnson Systems Incorporated (JSI) supporting and implementing the APEX scheduling software at client sites. An opportunity to help build a customer support organization at Morino Associates in 1984 put him on course to begin work with MICS (then MVS Integrated Control System) and other Morino software solutions, evolving to publicly-held Morino Inc., then becoming LEGENT Corporation. Morino Associates is where he and Cheryl first worked together in 1984. Key assignments there included support, QA, Development, Consulting and supporting for Morino international offices when needed. In 1996, Scott became a Principal Consultant and part-owner at SBBWorks, Inc., a consultancy firm, where today they support IBM mainframe computing clients involved with chargeback, performance/capacity, and enterprise management reporting initiatives, while also providing remote support services.
