a large packaging manufacturer migrates from Lawson Informix to Db2 with Xtivia and 24×7 support

Xtivia was engaged by a large packaging manufacturer facing a critical challenge. Following Lawson's announcement to end support for Informix, the customer needed to migrate its Lawson application database to Db2 on AIX. They turned to Xtivia's Virtual-DBA service to manage this complex platform transition.

Xtivia's team of certified Db2 administrators supervised the entire migration, providing architecture guidance and working closely with the client's Lawson consultants and application team. The solution included creating databases, executing scripts, managing data transfers, and implementing automated backups and proactive monitoring via the Virtual-DBA portal. As a result, the migration was completed successfully, and the customer continues to use Xtivia’s Virtual-DBA services for 24x7 monitoring and support, ensuring optimized database operations.
