SUCCESS STORY: RES Suite Solutions Supporting Workload Scheduler Migration<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>

A US health insurance organization successfully migrated its mainframe workload scheduler to HCL Workload Automation<\/strong>, a distributed scheduling solution. Thanks to RES\u2019 methodology, the support of RES Suite<\/strong><\/a> solutions and the collaboration with HCL, the transition was carried out in a controlled manner, reducing licensing costs, minimizing manual intervention and shortening the overall migration timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE CONTEXT<\/h2>\n

The client is a major health insurance organization<\/strong> based in Rhode Island, USA<\/strong>. Its information system primarily relies on a mainframe environment<\/strong> used to manage critical operational processes and a large number of scheduled jobs.<\/p>\n

THE CHALLENGE<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The client needed to replace its existing workload scheduler<\/strong>, as licensing costs had become unsustainable, and move from a mainframe-based solution to a distributed scheduler.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main challenge was to ensure a complete and reliable migration <\/strong> within a complex mainframe environment, while minimizing the impact on daily operations and reducing manual activities, which are more prone to error.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE SOLUTION<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

RES IT<\/strong><\/a>, working in collaboration with HCL, managed the entire migration process from the existing mainframe workload scheduler to the new distributed solution, supported by RES Suite<\/strong><\/a> and, in particular, Docet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The approach included:<\/p>\n
