This company is one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, providing telephone service to nearly 15 million residential and business customers as well as video, internet and advertising services.
In 1998, the telecomm giant looked to Sector7 for migration of their applications. The client company's primary reasons for a migration were to lower total cost of ownership of their Midrange Environment, and to achieve Year 2000 platform compliance. In addition, the client needed a platform that could not only handle the millions of current customers, but could be easily upgraded.
The client needed a company that could provide these services and migrate these applications with the least interruption to their millions of customers. They approached Sector7 to migrate these applications. Sector7 has more than 15 years of migration experience. This teaming proved to be a relationship beneficial to both parties.
Sector7 provided the migrations services for eight mission-critical applications. These applications were written in the C language and were converted to ANSI for compilation on an IBM C compiler. Additionally, some re-engineering of the 3270 terminals was required. Results of this project have greatly increased this client's capabilities to provide service to its customers.
