Some Migrations

• An automobile dealer software application used at over 200 locations throughout France was migrated from IBM System/36's to an implementation on OS/2 servers networked with Windows clients, using DISAM data management. Standard C language replaced the proprietary System/36 OCL and RPG languages.
• A large-scale manufacturing software application was migrated from IBM AS/400 to Hewlett-Packard HPUX and Sun Solaris servers with X-Windows clients, using an Informix relational database. Standard C++ and Motif languages replaced the proprietary AS/400 CL, RPG and DDS languages.
• An automobile parts control software application was migrated from a centrally located IBM System/36 networked to factories throughout Europe to a Hewlett-Packard HPUX system using an Oracle relational database. The ANSI COBOL language replaced the proprietary System/36 COBOL language. The distributed client/server implementation significantly reduced X.25 communications traffic.
• A manufacturing software application used in the garment industry was migrated from IBM System/36 to Hewlett-Packard HPUX using an Informix database. The C language replaced the proprietary System/36 BASIC language.
• An automobile dealer software application used throughout the country was migrated from IBM System/36's to Hewlett-Packard HPUX. Standard Korn-shell and ANSI COBOL languages replaced the proprietary System/36 OCL and COBOL languages.
• A production control application for the garment industry was migrated from the IBM System/36 to SCO UNIX, Hewlett-Packard HPUX and IBM AIX systems. Standard Korn-shell and ANSI COBOL languages replaced the proprietary System/36 OCL and COBOL languages.
• A parking lot accounting application by a chain of parking lots was migrated from Business BASIC systems to the Wang VS. The PL/I language replaced the proprietary Business BASIC language.
• Several municipal accounting application suites were migrated from Business BASIC systems to the Wang VS. The PL/I language replaced the proprietary Business BASIC language.
• A credit union software application was migrated from Business BASIC to the Wang VS using the PACE relational database. The PL/I language replaced the proprietary Business BASIC language.
• A minimum cost network flow model software application was migrated from ALGOL to the IBM System/38.The translated ALGOL application software could then be efficiently executed on the System/38. Optimized MI language replaced the scientific ALGOL language.
• A human resources software application was migrated from CSC FORTRAN to IBM MVS. The PL/I language replaced the scientific FORTRAN language. In-house use replaced the time-sharing system.
• A rail freight transportation model software application was migrated from CDC FORTRAN to IBM DOS/VS. In-house use replaced the time-sharing system.
