BluePhoenix Announces a Modernization Contract With State of Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD)
Posted on: Tuesday, 23 December 2008, 06:09 CST
This modernization project will begin with a global assessment, detailed analysis, data transformation and testing of four of DWD's mission-critical systems, which process between 300,000 and 500,000 transactions daily plus additional batches each night. BluePhoenix Solutions will migrate these four systems databases and applications from DWD's current IDMS (non-relational database) environment to IBM's DB2 (relational database) environment, while remaining on the mainframe. This project will additionally include the conversion of several COBOL and COBOL-CICS programs that perform SQL I/O directly on the DB2 database.
"This contract win underscores the growing opportunity that exists today for BluePhoenix Solutions to diversify our customer base and continue to grow," commented Yaron, Tchwella, President of BluePhoenix Solutions. "Particularly in tough economic times such as these, government agencies, just as their corporate counterparts, are faced with the need to provide the same or better services to their constituents on a lower budget. Of the seven competitors, DWD was convinced that our comprehensive modernization solutions offered the best solution and clearest ROI, where they would be able to realize significantly reduced total IT costs while maintaining the integrity of their ongoing operations. We appreciate DWD's selection of our solution and look forward to the engagement."
