Db2 for z/OS Knowledge Transfer & Mentoring
Give your Db2 team an expert they can turn to
Not every Db2 challenge requires a consulting engagement or a training course. Sometimes your team simply needs to ask an experienced expert a question, talk through an approach or get guidance on an unfamiliar problem.
Our flexible Db2 for z/OS mentoring service gives your people access to experienced Triton consultants when they need it, helping them build confidence and capability while they work.
Your team does the work. Triton provides the expertise and guidance.
Let’s talk about what would work for you.
Flexible by Design
Every organisation has different requirements. Our mentoring can be structured around the way your team works.
Choose the level of support that works for you.
Flexible Monthly Support
A predictable monthly arrangement providing an agreed level of access to a named Triton consultant.
This could include scheduled mentoring sessions, technical Q&A, ad-hoc advice and regular reviews.
Ideal for: organisations wanting ongoing support with predictable costs.
Db2 Expert Office Hours
Make expert support available at specific times each week.
Team members can book time with a Triton consultant to discuss questions, work through problems or get advice on current projects.
Ideal for: teams that need regular access to expertise without a full-time commitment.
Db2 Knowledge Transfer Programme
A structured 3 or 6-month programme designed to develop capability and transfer critical knowledge.
The programme can include:
- Skills assessment
- Individual mentoring plans
- Structured knowledge-transfer objectives
- Regular mentoring sessions
- Monthly progress reviews
- Final recommendations and next steps
Ideal for: organisations addressing skills gaps, succession planning or the development of less experienced Db2 professionals.
Named Db2 Advisor
A dedicated Triton consultant becomes a trusted extension of your team.
Your people have a named expert they can turn to for technical questions, guidance and support. Over time, the consultant develops an understanding of your environment, your people and your projects, creating continuity and a trusted working relationship.
Ideal for: organisations looking for ongoing access to experienced Db2 expertise.
What Can Your Team Use the Service for?
The mentoring relationship can cover whatever your people need help with, including:
- Technical questions
- Problem determination
- Design reviews
- Performance tuning
- Recovery planning
- Best-practice guidance
- Skills development
- Project coaching
- Operational advice
The emphasis is on practical, real-world knowledge, rather than simply following a predefined training syllabus.
The Benefits
Build capability while getting the job done.
Reduce dependency on key individuals
Give junior and less experienced staff access to experienced expertise without continually relying on your most senior internal specialists.
Accelerate Learning
Questions can be answered when they arise, helping your people learn from real situations rather than waiting for the next training course.
Improve Confidence
Having an experienced Db2 professional available provides reassurance when staff are tackling unfamiliar technology, problems or projects.
Reduce Operational Risk
Expert guidance can help your team make better-informed decisions when dealing with complex or critical Db2 environments.
Support Succession Planning
Transfer knowledge continuously, rather than trying to capture decades of experience through occasional training or before a key individual leaves.
Build Knowledge Within your Organisation
The objective isn’t to create another dependency on an external consultant. It’s to make your own people more capable and confident over time.
Why Triton?
Deep Db2 expertise, applied to your environment.
Triton has decades of experience working with Db2 for z/OS in real-world environments.
Our consultants don’t simply deliver a course and leave. They can work alongside your people, understand the challenges they face and provide practical guidance based on extensive experience.
You get:
- Experienced Db2 professionals
- People who understand the realities of running Db2 in complex, mission-critical environments
- Practical knowledge
- Advice based on real-world experience rather than theory alone
- Continuity
With a named advisor model, your team builds a relationship with someone who gets to know your environment and people.
From occasional questions to structured six-month programmes, we adapt the service to your requirements.
The ultimate objective is to strengthen your internal capability and reduce dependency on individual experts.
