UNIX to S/390
C++, Pro *C, Oracle

This global communications company serves 23 million business and residential customers in more than 70 countries. The company has more than 80,000 employees worldwide and $23 billion in annual revenues. Additionally, the company has extensive wireline and wireless business as well as product distribution and directory publishing businesses.

The purpose of the project was to assist the IBM and client company's porting teams with the migration of the client's Customer Data Warehouse (CDW) application from UNIX to OS/390. Sector7 was brought in to rescope the project, to manage the effort and to determine the critical path. In addition, Sector7 provided resources to assist IBM and the client with the rewrite of the STL functions. Sector7 also developed an in-depth test strategy based upon its proprietary testing methodology and assisted the client with their test/break/fix and acceptance testing tasks. Sector7's 17 years of application migration experience provided a reliable solution.
