Case study
"Moving to isCOBOL opens up new windows of opportunity for our business. We can now provide our software on any platform that supports the Java Runtime Environment – meaning more flexibility for traditional desktop deployment models, as well as the possibility of delivering enhanced thin client and Web 2.0 distributions down the road..."
Rolf Ahlrichs, programmer, HAY Computing
A B2B provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and accounting software for the electronics industry, HAY Computing Service Gmbh's (HAY Computing's) “HAYWaWi” ERP package has been successfully serving German-based businesses for years.
Business Drivers: HAY Computing wanted to provide its customer base greater choice in distribution platforms as well as the opportunity to take advantage of alternative technologies such as Open Office; however, being developed on ACUCOBOL-GT, HAY Computing had always limited HAYWaWi releases to Windows-based clients.
Solution: Impressed with the compatibility between ACUCOBOL-GT and isCOBOL, as well as with the competitive isCOBOL price-point, HAY Computing moved its entire HAYWaWi ERP package -- over 2500 COBOL programs accessing ISAM data -- to the isCOBOL platform in less than five months.
