Some Interesting Speedware Stats • Have helped 106 customers migrate to other platforms • Have migrated 729 HP e3000 servers • Most projects average between 30-40 distinct technologies • Most projects take between 12-18 months to complete • Testing is the largest component • Migrating code and data is easy; technology integration is where the challenges are • We estimate between 500-1000 customers left (max)
Migration Tools Landscape Update • Existing tools are very mature (should reduce effort and time, increase automation) • Some vendors are disappearing or becoming questionable for long-term viability / stability • Some existing HP3000 vendors are stepping up to fill the voids, introducing new products • Example: EZV / TransAction / DICT3000 • Some good vendor partnering and cooperation happening • Example: AMXW, Suprtool, EZV, Eloquence, DataExpress, TransAction, etc. • Knowledgeable HP3K Resources are what will become scarce and more expensive
