SITA, the world’s leading air transport IT and communications specialist, has migrated a business-critical flight planning system to open systems using Clerity’s UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software. By migrating off the mainframe, SITA streamlined deployment requirements and improved its ability to add new user functionality.
Business Drivers: In order to rapidly respond to changing market requirements and support more cost-effective future growth, SITA needed to migrate its mainframe IBM® CICS®, PL/1, FORTRAN, Assembler and VSAM-based environment to open systems. SITA needed a solution that would protect critical business logic, while enhancing the company’s ability to cost-effectively add new features in the future.
Solution: UniKix technology enabled SITA to leverage its valuable business logic on open systems, while protecting existing skill sets and providing an evolutionary path forward for ongoing application development.
