Case Study: Parsons Construction achieves faster legacy data access and reporting with Vision Solutions

Parsons Corporation - Customer Case Study

Parsons Construction, an engineering and construction company with legacy IBM DB2 for i/RPG systems, needed a way to let users analyze operational data with familiar tools like Excel, Access, Crystal Reports, and SQL Server Reporting Services—without rewriting millions of dollars’ worth of applications or slowing production systems. Vision Solutions helped Parsons avoid a costly platform rewrite while supporting reporting and data access across more than 2,000 tables and multiple divisions.

Vision Solutions implemented Double-Take Share to replicate data from IBM DB2 for i production databases to Microsoft SQL Server for query, reporting, and web use. The solution separated analytics from production processing, protecting operational performance while giving users real-time data access; it also required little ongoing administration and made replication setup for similar divisions fast and easy, helping Parsons improve decision-making across finance and engineering.
