Case Study: Major Health and Wellness Retailer achieves over $2M in annual savings with Ensono

Major retailer saves big with mainframe modernization

Major Health and Wellness Retailer, a $5B publicly traded retailer in the health and wellness sector, needed more capacity from an aging mainframe while cutting high license costs and avoiding disruption to critical business applications. The company also had to complete the modernization within 18 months and reduce future IT spending.

Ensono helped the retailer migrate its legacy environment to a more flexible Microsoft .NET platform with SQL Server, preserving key application functions during the transition. The project delivered measurable savings: annual license fees dropped from $2.5 million to under $500,000, enabling the retailer to recoup its investment and realize more than $2 million in annual operating savings.
