Consolidation / Re-Location
One of the most difficult projects that faces an Information Technology (IT) department is the consolidation of two or more Data Centers. Often the scope of such a project is tremendous and crosses many boundaries of expertise. Lack of planning, extended time frames and budget overruns challenge many mainframe consolidations.

As experienced systems integrators, BCL can quickly assess the existing infrastructure, and identify the “surviving” hardware / software to meet the defined business goals. Once the survivors are selected, BCL can assist with the conversion/migration.
