Overview Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), one of the United Kingdom's largest utility companies, wanted a new financial reporting system to generate internal reports and to meet the demands of the Country. SSE was using IBM software with DB2 databases, but it has built its new Management Information System with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. SQL Server easily coped with such a major implementation. The migration of data processing COBOL code from the mainframe onto the Microsoft .NET Framework used Fujitsu's NetCOBOL for .NET. The resulting solution has delivered a 1.9 TB database, on average providing better performance than the legacy system.
