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

MPE Community Support

Our goal is to be a repository for all things MPE– We plan to support MPE homesteaders and migrations for at

least the next 10 years

Community Support Activities– Rehosting of Jazz – 90% complete and live– Re-hosting of HP3K Transitioning online training – live– Rehosting of MPE to HP-UX syntax converter (in progress)– Launching an MPE Social Networking group– Future re-hosting of HP3K docs
