Replacing our legacy session manager with a new modern solution was extremely easy due to UNICOM’s expertise and seamless collaboration. The migration, from proof of concept to full rollout for 20,000 users, was completed in just five months on an IBM z16 sysplex setup, delivering a more cost-efficient and future-proof solution.
