Success Stories

Virginia International Terminals is of the most sophisticated marine terminal operating companies in the world. It manages all of the state owned port terminal facilities for the state of Virginia. A significant amount of VIT’s IT investment runs on HP e3000 business servers. When engaged to analyze the company’s business environment and propose an effective system migration strategy, Speedware professionals performed a complete analysis of VIT’s business landscape, organizational issues, technology infrastructure, applications and databases. A comprehensive plan was developed and the client then proceeded with a feasibility study. The study focused on selecting a subset of application and database files and migrating these to the target platform. Exceptional issues were isolated and addressed. The experience was then used to develop and deliver customized training that educated VIT staff on how to handle the complete migration project. The plan was revised accordingly. VIT is continuing to engage Speedware consulting services from Speedware on an ongoing basis.
