Anubex Successfully Migrates BEZEQ to Open Platform
ANTWERP, Belgium, June 12, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
IT-modernization expert migrates core applications at Israel's largest
telecom group from legacy systems to modern IT environment.
Anubex, leader in automated software modernization, proudly announces the successful
completion of a key legacy migration project at Bezeq, Israel's largest and leading
telecommunications group.
Bezeq counts on maintaining a leading position in the market by modernizing its IT
infrastructure and migrating the core business system - managing over 16 Mio of
transactions per day! - from an IBM mainframe and IDMS database to a Linux environment and
a relational Oracle database.
After a severe selection, Anubex and its local partner Next iT were chosen to migrate
the over 100.000 complex ADS and Cobol programs, representing close to 10 Mio lines of
code.
Anubex' typical automated modernization approach and proprietary testing tools allowed
the teams from Bezeq and Anubex / Next iT to complete this entire migration project in
only 20 months.
Louis Heymans, CEO of Anubex, comments: "We were able to exceed timing goals and stay
within the budget. While our modernization solutions and unique methodology played a
crucial role in the outcome of this project, we could only succeed with the trust from the
Bezeq management team and the commitment of the experienced technical teams from Bezeq,
Next iT and Anubex."
Eli Frank, Vice President of IT at Bezeq, says: "It truly felt like the Anubex/Next iT
team was an integrated part of our team and we clearly shared the same goals!"
"By migrating to open systems, we eliminated an important cost and took an important
step in our IT optimization process, allowing us to grow and adapt even quicker to future
business changes. I'm convinced that our case study will be exemplary to other customers
and modernization projects."
