Kawasaki Hybrid Cloud Migration Case Study

This case study outlines Kawasaki Motors Corp.'s transition from a mainframe environment to a distributed hybrid cloud setup. Faced with rising costs and a diminishing pool of mainframe experts, Kawasaki recognized the need to decommission its mainframe system. The migration process was complex, requiring the preservation of nearly two decades of critical documents and data while ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations. To achieve this, Kawasaki partnered with Rocket Software, leveraging its Mobius architecture to facilitate a seamless transition. The solution allowed for continued access to essential data without workflow interruptions, thereby maintaining operational continuity. The case study details how Kawasaki benefited from cost savings by avoiding data reprocessing and ensured the security and accessibility of its information throughout the migration. Ultimately, the collaboration with Rocket Software enabled Kawasaki to modernize its operations effectively while preserving access to vital business documents.
