Every product. Every metric. Every renewal lever.

The MLC stack and the IPLA tools around it. Most IBM mainframe spend concentrates in z/OS, CICS, Db2, IMS, and MQ, where sub-capacity reporting and Tailored Fit Pricing decisions set the bill.

The former CA Technologies portfolio, now priced under Broadcom portfolio agreements and the MCL consumption model. The transition from MIPS to MSU metrics is where renewal exposure typically spikes.

The AMI portfolio, MainView, and Control-M, typically sold as MSU based suite agreements or under the zConsumption Licensing model. Suite bundling is convenient on day one and opaque by year three.

A portfolio assembled by acquisition: the Micro Focus application modernization and connectivity business, the ASG estate, and Rocket's own MultiValue and storage tools. Inherited contract language rarely favors the buyer.

Adabas and Natural estates run on contracts that are often decades old, with specialized metrics and audit exposure that grows as the original negotiators retire. Renewal leverage lives in the contract archaeology.

The Compuware developer tooling estate, owned by BMC since 2020 but contracted and renewed on its own patterns. Entitlement overlap with BMC AMI products is a recurring source of double payment.

The Syncsort heritage products under Precisely ownership: MFX sort, Ironstream observability forwarding, and the optimization tools. Renewals are typically capacity based, which makes the capacity baseline the negotiation.
