Advancing Performance with Rocket^® Enterprise Server 

Company

Industry: Textiles

E. Miroglio is a rapidly expanding leader in the textile world. The company operates seven manufacturing and office sites located in Bulgaria, Serbia, Italy, France, and China.

Challenge

E. Miroglio’s IT team struggled to control production systems. Their costly, inflexible application environment hindered innovation and slowed responses to business needs.

To manage its complex manufacturing and inventory, E. Miroglio used an application that was becoming a bottleneck. The system required manual assistance for about 5,000 daily batch jobs, and its limitations hindered business innovation. As the company grew, so did the processing times and the need for a more cost-effective, standardized, and modern platform that would give them greater flexibility.

Solution

E. Miroglio modernized its platform with Rocket Enterprise Server. This allowed a seamless move to a flexible x86-based Linux environment, reusing over 12,000 critical COBOL programs with no downtime.

The team knew an x86-based Linux platform would provide the flexibility, cost savings, and future modernization opportunities they needed. Rocket Enterprise Server accelerated this digital transformation. As part of the simplification, all UNIX shell scripts were converted back to JCL, which the team had more expertise in managing. This gave the Italy-based team comfortable control over the entire production environment.

Results

The new platform significantly improved performance and end-user productivity. The transition was smooth and safe, with no interference to 24/7 business operations.

The impact was immediate and clear to the 500+ end-users. Some departments reported a stunning 90% performance improvement. For example, generating and sending an invoice now takes seconds instead of up to 15 minutes. Nightly batch operations became fully automated and now complete 50% faster, a massive benefit for a company with thousands of daily transactions. The standardization also promises a more cost-effective and supportable platform for the future.
