Case Study: Raven Transport achieves a seamless, near-zero-downtime IBM i server and OS upgrade with Precisely Assure iTERA HA

Raven Transport - Customer Case Study

Raven Transport, a mid-sized trucking company with a lean IT team, needed to upgrade its IBM i systems and move to a newer operating system without significant downtime or in‑house hardware expertise. To meet that challenge it engaged Precisely and used Precisely Assure iTERA HA (recommended by its IBM Business Partner, ICS) to perform the migration.

Precisely implemented Assure iTERA HA to replicate production data to new hardware, keep systems synchronized via IBM i journaling, and automate the cutover, completing the project in about six weeks with virtually no downtime. The migration was seamless, required only 20–25 person‑hours of Raven Transport IT time, and left the company with the upgraded system and minimal need for in‑house expertise—backed by Precisely’s support.
