Rich Products (see Rich's case study)

Rich Products Corporation is known around the world as a pioneer in the frozen food industry and a leading supplier and solutions provider to the food service, in-store bakery and retail marketplaces. IAI converted DMS/CICS/VS to COBOL/CICS/BMS and DB2 to Oracle as part of Rich Products' mainframe migration to Micro Focus Server, enabling this client to transition from its mainframe environment and to consolidate its entire application portfolio onto the Oracle DBMS in a server-based environment. This approach achieved significant ROI and productivity benefits. The project was completed in less than 6 months.

In the case of pre-existing customers, the forms are pre-populated with data from legacy systems.
