If, as the article states, they were using ISPF as a batch monitoring
and management tool, I wonder how many other "wrong" tools they were
using. I'm not surprised they believe they are saving money. It may
even be true if they started using appropriate tools.

They also had an interesting proof of concept technique. Send some code
to the contractor and then visit 24 hours later. I wonder what the
success criteria were.
