BluePhoenix Reports Impressive Results for Danish Commerce Agency Platform Migration Project

  u Migration from Legacy ADABAS/Natural Applications to Oracle/Java

  u Agency Cuts Application Operational Costs by 50%; Achieves Return on Investment Within One Year
  u Agency Moves to a Faster, Safer, Less Expensive Web-based Registration System

COPENHAGEN, Denmark & HERZLIA, Israel –Feb. 20, 2007 – BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX), the leader in enterprise IT modernization, today reported strong results for its platform migration project for the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (DCCA), part of the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs in Copenhagen.

The migration triple play (hardware/database/application development language) was necessary because the legacy application system, which processed 350,000 business registrations each year and shared data with the tax agency of Denmark, was difficult and expensive to maintain and enhance, and didn’t easily integrate with new systems. Moreover, it did not share common programming languages.

As a result, DCCA engaged BluePhoenix to convert the legacy systems into Java-code on an Oracle database with the goal of maintaining the same high-level of functionality of the existing system. The agency plans to rework the modernized application later, optimizing and adding new functionality per current and future business needs.

“We are exceptionally pleased with the results of our BluePhoenix migration project,” said Ole Blondal, CEO of Danish Commerce and Companies Agency. “DCCA has noted a 50% reduction in application operating costs and we’ve achieved a return on our investment in less than one year. These savings have enabled us to accelerate the improvement of Web-enabling our services. We now provide our customers with a faster, safer registration process.”

Under this project, BluePhoenix migrated more than 2,700 ADABAS/Natural programs with a million lines of code, and 200 ADABAS views from OS/390 (MVS) to Java/Oracle/J2EE running on Linux. 1,000 Natural character-based screens were converted by to graphical Web screens.

“In a typical month, DCCA runs 800,000 transactions over its applications. The migration project was enormous in scope and the results are equally impressive,” said Theis Eichel, general manager, Northern and Central Europe at BluePhoenix. “BluePhoenix has the automated tools, experience and expertise to enable such successful migrations from legacy ADABAS/Natural environments enabling organizations to more easily and cost-effectively meet business needs. We congratulate DCCA on its accomplishments.”
