UNISYS mainframe migration
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD): Modernizing systems that support grant, subsidy, and loan programs
Challenge: Previously, HUD’s mainframe and five most critical business systems were on premises in an antiquated mainframe environment, with COBOL applications that were expensive to maintain. These systems support 30,000 users for over 100 HUD grant, subsidy, and loan programs.
Approach & Outcomes: With TMF support, HUD modernized the codebase to Java and accelerated the migration of these five business systems to the cloud. This investment:
- Improved security, reduced infrastructure, and increased shared services with other agencies
- Enabled faster completion of functional and technical enhancements due to reduced costs of maintaining and updating the platform
- Saves $8 million annually, allowing funds to transform additional legacy systems
Securing this investment led HUD leadership to allocate additional internal funds to accelerate the project and reduce the amount needed from TMF, while achieving the full outcomes of the original proposal.
