 Cognizant completes Schwan migration
Cognizant, a leading provider of IT services, has announced the successful completion of a mainframe-to-Windows Server migration for The Schwan Food Company, one of
the world's largest branded frozen-food producers with customers in 50 countries around the world.
Schwan turned to Cognizant to plan and implement the migration of its 30 custom business solutions for the Microsoft .NET Framework and consolidate them on the
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system, a move that delivers the company significant annual savings and cuts code base by 85 per cent while boosting capacity and supporting its rapidly growing businesses around the world.
"The Schwan Food Company's migration project ran enterprise-wide and required expertise in performance engineering, systems architecture, project delivery performance,
quality assurance and solutions development," said Kate McNulty, senior vice-president and chief information officer for
Schwan.
"We chose Cognizant because they gave us confidence to help us achieve the business goals that drove our decision to move from the mainframe to the Windows platform."
"I am very pleased with the success of this migration initiative, which was driven by the close, strategic partnership that we have developed over the last five years between
Schwan and Cognizant," said Francisco D'Souza, chief operating officer, Cognizant.
"Our relationship with Schwan truly represents Cognizant's ultimate value proposition, the ability to leverage our industry expertise and full range of service offerings and
generate tangible, long-lasting business value for our customers."
"Migration from the mainframe to the Windows Server helps organisations achieve the goal of reducing complexity while maintaining and often increasing performance
levels," said Charles Johnson, Worldwide Managing Director, Manufacturing, Microsoft.
"Cognizant's unique approach for legacy modernisation coupled with their global delivery model and heavy focus on risk mitigation helps organisations move toward a
scalable and flexible solution that can take full advantage of the power of the Windows platform and .NET Framework."
