Case Study: Cashco achieves a future-proof OpenVMS migration with Advanced

Cashco speeds up operations 4-5x with Advanced

Cashco, a leading manufacturer of industrial control valves, was running its entire operation on a highly customized OpenVMS system. They faced challenges including dependency on an aging platform, an inability to use the latest Oracle database tools, and a scarcity of the required Fortran programming skills. They engaged Advanced for a PathFinder assessment to evaluate a migration path.

Advanced proposed and executed a migration of the system to an environment using Oracle Enterprise Linux and the latest Oracle database. This involved translating the legacy Fortran code to C. The solution successfully retained Cashco's valuable business logic. The new system performs 4-5 times faster, supports an enhanced user interface, and has mitigated the risk of future skill shortages for Cashco.
