Mainframe Natural Adabas to Oracle
There seems to be a ground swell of activity around this. I am spending a lot of time in places like Brazil where there is a huge Software AG install base of Mainframe Natural/Adabas. People are really looking for a place to go for this legacy technology. There is a host of reasons to move off of this platform but cost does come as a top three reason.
Many people want to really understand that financial value for making a move like this and can the cost of the modernization be justified.
The case study below with Danish Commerce are seeing cost savings of 50% in just hardware costs. Going from a mainframe infrastructure to linux blade farm is really saving money. They are also realizing an ROI in less than one year from the modernization effort.
As you will read this was a high volume application with over 800,000 transactions per month.
BluePhoenix Reports Impressive Results for Danish

I will continue to post interesting modernization stories from our partners which are providing real examples of how Oracle is providing mainframe quality of service with real cost savings.
