Success Stories

Virginia International Terminals is of the most sophisticated marine terminal operating companies in the world. It manages all of the state owned port terminal facilities for the state of Virginia. A significant amount of VIT’s IT investment runs on HP e3000 business servers. When engaged to analyze the company’s business environment and propose an effective system migration strategy, Speedware professionals performed a complete analysis of VIT’s business landscape, organizational issues, technology infrastructure, applications and databases. A comprehensive plan was developed and the client then proceeded with a feasibility study. The study focused on selecting a subset of application and database files and migrating these to the target platform. Exceptional issues were isolated and addressed. The experience was then used to develop and deliver customized training that educated VIT staff on how to handle the complete migration project. The plan was revised accordingly. VIT is continuing to engage Speedware consulting services from Speedware on an ongoing basis.

Expeditors had relied on the HP e3000 business server for over 15 years. The company was eager to convert three of its mission-critical legacy applications to UNIX before 2006, when HP will be terminating support for the server. It was crucial, however that Expeditors identify a solution that would enable it to easily migrate without interrupting its business, losing any data, or impacting IT priorities. It also wanted to migrate these applications to UNIX in order to enjoy the benefits of an open systems environment. In addition, Expeditors needed to ensure that the converted applications would continue to interface with systems and third-party software.
