Case Study: Health and Wellness Retailer achieves annual operating savings of over $2 million with Ensono Mainframe Modernization Solution

Mainframe Modernization Solution Enables Retailer to Realize Annual Operating Savings of more than $2 Million

A $5 billion publicly traded health and wellness retailer needed more capacity from its aging mainframe while cutting high licensing costs and modernizing critical supply chain, distribution, stock control, and pricing systems without disrupting operations. The company turned to Ensono and its mainframe modernization services to move to a more flexible platform within an 18-month deadline.

Ensono assessed the application and data environment, then migrated the retailer to a Microsoft platform using NetCOBOL for .NET and SQL Server, converting legacy code with Ensono’s ExperThink and Universal Data Converter. The project was delivered and tested in 18 months, enabled annual operating savings of more than $2 million, reduced software license costs, and improved batch performance by 30%.
