BluePhoenix Selected for Major Platform Migration Project for Scandinavian
Distributor GDC A/S;
Converting ADABAS/Natural Applications to Modern Environment -
SQL Server/C#/.NET on Windows

  u Provides Automated Platform Migration to Microsoft Environment for Enhanced Business Agility and Reduction of Maintenance Costs
  u First Major Turn-Key Project for Scandinavia’s Leading Home Entertainment and Electronics Distribution andLogistics Company

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and HERZLIA, Israel – Jan. 31, 2007 – BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX – News), the leader in Enterprise IT Modernization, today announced that it was selected by GDC A/S, Scandinavia’s leading home entertainment and electronics distribution and logistics company, to modernize the company sales and stock management and distribution system. The modernized system will enable GDC to expand its local distribution operations to new lines of business, reduce maintenance cost, and develop its infrastructure for entering global markets.

Using BluePhoenix™ DBMSMigrator for ADABAS/Natural, GDC’s proprietary code will undergo a fully automated transformation across language, application, and relational database conversion resulting in a complete platform migration. Migrating their proprietary IT to a more mainstream, homogeneous, and open Microsoft environment allows companies to save on high maintenance costs, retrieve invaluable intellectual property, enhance business opportunities, and enable Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

“To enter new lines of business and successfully compete in monopolistic environments, we needed a more modern, flexible, less costly IT infrastructure,” said Stig Viktor, COO at GDC. “By moving into a C# .NET based environment, GDC can now maintain its own platform, significantly lowering maintenance and development costs, and use the money saved to offer lower, more attractive prices per unit.” According to Stig Viktor the project is estimated to bring Return on Investment (ROI) in only twelve months.

BluePhoenix™ IT Discovery was chosen to do the detailed analysis phase of GDC’s in-house GRAM application in order to help select the optimal solution. The GRAM key business application for business-to-business (B2B) sales and stock management and distribution will be converted to SQL Server/C# using DBMSMigrator for ADABAS/Natural. The tool allows clients to also migrate ADABAS/Natural applications to Java accessing a relational database management system (RDBMS) and to COBOL accessing a RDBMS.

According to the recommendation in Gartner’s just released report dated October 27 2006 - The Gartner Scenario 2006: The Current State and Future Direction of IT – “CIOs and their IT executives must complete enterprise platform migration by 2009.” Gartner continues: “…in order to deliver an IT agility that meets the needs of the business, there will need to be a wholesale rearchitecting of the application platform.”

Theis Eichel, CEO of Nordic Operation at BluePhoenix comments, “No matter how essential it may be to modernize a company’s legacy systems, to be successful it is important to have a well thought out migration strategy and the right tools. BluePhoenix offers the experience of over 100 successful migrations. Our automated high-performance solutions greatly lower the risk involved, making any type of migration a smooth, fast, and ultimately cost-efficient process.”
