Case Study: SD Worx achieves lower costs and greater agility with Astadia

SD Worx reduces mainframe costs and boosts agility with Astadia

SD Worx, a leading HR and payroll solutions provider, faced challenges with its outdated mainframe system running on Broadcom IDMS and COBOL. Rising operational costs, a shrinking talent pool for the legacy technology, and barriers to innovation compelled them to seek modernization. They partnered with Astadia to address these issues.

Astadia implemented its FastTrack Migration Factory to automate the migration of SD Worx's IDMS database to IBM Db2 and convert its COBOL applications. This hybrid approach moved online processing to a Windows platform while keeping intensive batch processes on the mainframe. The result was a significant reduction in operating costs, improved system agility and performance, and access to a larger pool of skilled developers, all while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.
