By Implementing a Sun Java Enterprise System, a 35 Year-Old Mainframe Was Transformed Into an Open Business System

Overview Employing some 2,152 people (as of March 31, 2004), Nippon Paint is headquartered in the Kita district of Osaka, with sales offices in Tokyo and Neyagawa (in Osaka) and eight factories in Japan. As a company with an exceptionally long history, it has a conservative image, yet it has always sought out the newest information technology to apply to its business operations, and was one of the first major companies to begin using a mainframe computer back in the 1960s. When Nippon Paint began to feel some limitations in its mainframe-based system, the company made the decision to reform its IT infrastructure. They chose a Solaris operating system with UNIX as the de facto standard, and became the first company in Japan to adopt the Sun Java Enterprise System.
