Case Study:
Renshaw Foods
How J F Renshaw (a major UK food manufacturer) used CoolSpools to connect their AS400 to Microsoft Office 365 – without the headache of using IBM’s SMTP server.
With the migration from AS400 to Microsoft Office 365 at the heart of their new IT strategy, Renshaw planned to replace Lotus Notes with Microsoft Exchange. But there was a problem: without Lotus Notes, they would need to set up another mail server on the AS400 to distribute those vital daily reports via Office 365. And IBM’s SMTP engine is highly complex to configure and troubleshoot.
Download the case study to learn how Renshaw was able to solve their Office 365 implementation with AS400.
Case Study:
Migrating from AS400 to SAP
How a major automotive manufacturer used CoolSpools to migrate from IBM AS400 to SAP Business One
The client used a bespoke management system on their IBM i to control parts stock inventory and ordering processes, with basic online access for dealerships. The viability of this legacy system was uncertain, with concerns over performance, functionality, cybersecurity, and long-term support. When modernization of their online parts portal became a priority, the company identified SAP Business One as the solution. But AS/400 to SAP migration can be a complex and laborious process, especially when it involves huge data volumes.
Case Study:
Using AS400 report modernisation to enable remote working
Kelly Spicers buck the trend: a story of business growth in testing times.
With lockdown looming, Kelly Spicers (a major independent paper and packaging distribution company) turned to CoolSpools to ensure business continuity by switching to remote production. Fast. By using CoolSpools Kelly Spicers were able to automate production and stock management routines that would otherwise demand on-site working.
