C.R. England

between the production and backup machines to avoid delays and problems during role swaps. |

TCY
TCY serves four leading shipping companies, including the world’s largest.

All that information is managed by TCY, who must provide its customers with 24/7 continuous online information availability, 365 days a year, in spite of being in a hurricane zone. |

Also, McLane Polksa’s technicians had only a small window to perform backups,
system maintenance, and testing. Given the company’s operational scale, its high degree
of complexity, and the huge number of documents possessed by this system, its technicians worked intensively over the weekend to complete these tasks. |
