Overview:

L-3 Vertex Aerospace has more than 11,000 staff at 300 locations around the world to service 3,500 aircraft, including 89 distinct types, primarily for the U.S. government. Bidding on new contracts requires drawing on millions of rows of accounting and inventory data, which had been stored on an IBM 3090 mainframe computer that was difficult and expensive to maintain. As L-3 Vertex's business grew, it needed a more flexible system that was easier to use. The company moved the system to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, which dramatically reduced costs, cut the turnaround time on queries from weeks to days, and allowed users to run their own analytics using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
