Case Study: Canada Motor Vehicle Services achieves lower costs and greater agility with Astadia migration services

Canada Motor Vehicle Services modernizes mainframe on time and within budget with Astadia

A provincial motor vehicles department in Canada, responsible for driver licensing and vehicle registration, faced significant challenges with its outdated mainframe applications. The systems, written in obsolete Assembler and Natural code, were difficult to maintain after key personnel retired, leading to escalating costs and security concerns. The department engaged Astadia to perform an automated code conversion and migration using its Migration Factory technology.

Astadia deployed its FastTrack Migration Factory to automate the conversion of the agency’s Assembler code to C# and to migrate its Adabas data to Microsoft SQL Server. The project was completed on time and within budget, dramatically reducing operating costs and eliminating major risks. Astadia’s solution provided the department with a modern system, making it easier to hire developers and creating a path for future innovation.
