Research Report: How Automotive IT Leaders Are Modernizing Production, Supply Chain, and Inventory Systems Under Pressure
This report—based on research by User Evidence and surveys completed by 52 automotive IT leaders—shows that automotive IT modernization is centered on the operational core: inventory, supply chain, quality/MES, production scheduling, and order-to-production responsiveness. The technical challenge is integration, not replacement. Automotive IT leaders need to expose and extend trusted core systems while preserving embedded business logic, data integrity, traceability, uptime, and supplier coordination across tightly coupled environments.

New Case Study: How CNR Modernized a Mission-Critical Payroll System Without Rewriting Applications
The National Research Council (CNR), Italy’s largest public research organization, used Rocket Enterprise Suite and GFT Technologies to migrate a decades-old payroll system from a proprietary platform to Linux while preserving application behavior through exact environment emulation, automated JCL conversion, and advanced debugging. The modernization delivered significantly faster processing, native ODBC-based data access, cloud readiness for future disaster recovery initiatives, a two-thirds reduction in software licensing costs, more than a 50% reduction in hardware costs, and a 70% increase in developer productivity, demonstrating how Enterprise Suite can enable low-risk infrastructure modernization without application redevelopment.
