billing system which uses that information as the basis for invoices sent to the users.
That same information is the source of utilization information that follows.
In total, there are ten major billing categories. For fiscal year 02 03, the Data Center
shows an increase in 5
of the ten areas. The following table shows statewide percentage
of increase or decrease for each service category. These categories reflect use of
traditional data center resources. Data Entry is included for completeness and correlation
to data center billing.

For fiscal year 2002 2003, CICS service units, data entry, printer pages, type 1 and type 2
terminals usage decreased by 12%, 13%, 6%, 19% and 6% respectively. With the
exception of CICS, these decreases were expected and explanations follow:
1. Data entry decreased slightly due to PDEC's (Pueblo Data Entry Center, now
named DSG, Document Solutions Group and realigned into the Division of
Central Services) ability to log onto networks locally to provide on line data
entry. This decrease was moderate and the affect is increased TCP/IP and Dialup
access usage.
2. Printer page usage decreased by a third as a result of increased connections with
LAN printers to make use of newer technology. Distributed printing and online
viewing using View Direct and CA Dispatch have also been contributors to
increased TCP/IP & Dialup access usage
3. Type 1 and Type 2 terminal usage decreases are the result of increased PC access
to Mainframe systems through TN3270 connections.
For fiscal year 2002 2003, CPU service units (SU's), Adabas SU's, Disk Storage, Tape
Storage, and TCP/IP Dialup access increased by 10%, 23%, 6%, 5%, and 3%
respectively over fiscal year 2001 2002. Information Technologies and other state
