Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO) is one of the top U.S. refining companies, with about 22,000 employees and revenues of $119 billion. A market leader, Valero has approximately 5,800 retail sites and operates on a retail and wholesale basis across 44 U.S. states, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean region. Valero needed to reduce the risks and costs associated with their core systems that were running on a mainframe and to increase competitive advantage in the delivery of energy services for both retail and wholesale. They chose to migrate to UNIX, achieving 50% increased performance and reducing system complexity. |
