Case Study: USF Holland achieves 24/7 access to critical data with OpenText HostExplorer

USF Holland provides 24/7 access to critical data with OpenText HostExplorer

USF Holland, a regional transportation carrier founded in 1929, operates 80 local service centers with about 10,000 employees and nearly 20 million shipments a year. To sustain its industry-leading 98% on-time delivery and 24/7 operations, the company needed uninterrupted, secure access to a legacy freight management system on an AlphaServer/OpenVMS environment while migrating users from video terminals to Windows PCs.

USF Holland deployed OpenText HostExplorer via Citrix and Winterms to provide seamless, customizable host access without disrupting business processes. The solution integrated with existing software, scaled with company growth, extended the life of legacy systems, and helped maintain key performance metrics (98% on-time service and a 0.5% claims ratio) while simplifying administration.
