Case Study: Mizuno Corporation achieves $50,000 savings and streamlined IT operations with Fortra (Halcyon)

Mizuno USA Stays Active with Halcyon Products

Mizuno USA, a Norcross, GA–based maker of high-performance athletic equipment and footwear, needed a modern, modular systems-management solution that could support new divisions, centralize scheduled jobs, and give IT a high-level view of systems. After reviewing options, the company selected Halcyon’s Operations Center Suite (Level 4), Network Server Suite, and Authority Swapper to replace their legacy tools.

Halcyon provided web-based installation, training, and implementation guidance; key features—Enterprise Console, Disk Space Manager, Performance Analyzer, and Advanced Job Scheduler—gave Mizuno a bird’s-eye view of systems, better disk and capacity management, and streamlined overnight job monitoring. The solution kept Mizuno within its IT budget, avoided added headcount, and delivered about $50,000 in savings, with the company later adding Halcyon’s Advanced Reporting Suite for tailored SLA reporting.
