Legacy systems have been the cornerstone of several business core operations. The PA-RISC systems were widely known for their high-end computing. They were used in scientific research centers, financial institutions, manufacturing sectors, and many other industries.

These PA-RISC systems, which were once the innovative technology that powered several businesses, are now hindering operations. Here is an example of one such leading manufacturer that was struggling with constant downtime challenges.

They partnered with Stromasys to eliminate their PA-RISC challenges and save millions. Here is their journey to seamless transformation.

Legacy Systems Threatening the Global Product Manufacturer

A global manufacturer with more than 60,000 products worldwide was struggling with its PA-RISC legacy systems. With their growing business, they were managing more data and IT systems. But still relying on outdated infrastructure was hindering their mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The integration of modern technologies was becoming challenging.

Their operations spanned across continents, and their reputation depended on flawless execution. At the same time, this aging PA-RISC hardware was their Achilles’ heel.

The Critical Challenges they faced:

  • Unplanned Downtime: Downtime from obsolete hardware is one of the biggest obstacles during mergers and acquisitions, making them appear unreliable.
  • Integration with Modern Tech: Integration challenges with new technologies hinder M&A acquisitions.
  • Assembly Line Vulnerability: The terror of constant delays due to shutdown production lines.
  • Scheduling Challenges: Unpredictable performance and inefficiency resulting in inaccuracy of production scheduling.
  • Logistics Chaos: Supply chain coordination depended on systems that are not reliable and can fail at any time without warning, which can create logistic chaos.
  • Nationwide Production Risk: Any hardware malfunction could halt operations across the entire country.

One misstep could put production to a halt, which will cost them millions and destroy merger opportunities.

They needed a fast and safe solution.

Charon PAR: Risk-Free Legacy Migration Without Disruption

This leading product manufacturer was facing an impossible dilemma:

  • Keeping the aging hardware and risk-critical M&A negotiations and daily operations due to system failure.
  • Rewrite their critical applications, which are time-consuming, expensive, and come with a high implementation uncertainty.

Neither of the options was a feasible answer to their problems. But partnering with Stromasys, a global leader in legacy system transformation, helped them resolve their issue.

The Charon PAR is a cutting-edge legacy modernization solution that migrated its mission-critical PA-RISC applications to modern platforms. Charon PAR seamlessly eliminated its hardware dependency and migrated everything to AWS without changing a single line of code.

This eliminated any system failure risks, enabled smooth M&A activities, and prevented any disruption. Charon-PAR didn’t just solve their hardware problem but also revolutionized their entire IT infrastructure and business strategy.
