Company

Industry: Automotive

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., distributes motorcycles, sport bikes, watercraft, utility vehicles, and gasoline engines. They cater to consumer, industrial, and landscape markets, and deliver high-performance products worldwide. 

Challenge

Kawasaki needed to migrate from a legacy mainframe system to a hybrid cloud environment without disrupting access to mission-critical data or interrupting daily operations. 

Faced with rising mainframe costs, an aging pool of domain experts, and shifts in their global business strategy, Kawasaki decided to decommission their mainframe and move to a distributed hybrid cloud. The task was significant. They needed a seamless migration with minimal interruptions and they had to preserve and maintain accessibility to nearly two decades of essential business documents and data. Limited staff resources and a strict timeline added to the complexity of the project. 

 

Solution

Rocket Mobius ensured a seamless migration by providing continuity, preserving critical data, and modernizing Kawasaki’s document management system without interruptions. 

To address their challenges, Kawasaki transitioned from Rocket DocumentDirect® for the Internet to Rocket Mobius View, a modern UI/UX platform designed specifically for hybrid cloud environments. This allowed Kawasaki to avoid costly outages and ensure compatibility. Business users seamlessly accessed both recent and archived data, preserving their workflows and maintaining operational consistency throughout the migration. 

Results

Rocket Mobius delivered cost savings, uninterrupted workflow, and seamless access to decades of business-critical data during Kawasaki’s hybrid cloud migration.

By integrating Rocket Mobius, Kawasaki maintained business continuity throughout their transition to a hybrid cloud, eliminating the need for costly data reprocessing. The familiarity of the Rocket Mobius tools minimized disruptions for business users, ensuring they could efficiently access countless PDFs and documents critical for smooth operations. This created a secure, accessible, and scalable framework for Kawasaki’s future business needs.
