In 2002, Bertelsmann AG achieved U.S.$1 million annual cost savings by moving the management of some of its book clubs off a mainframe and onto a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - based solution. In 2005, when its largest club considered joining the move to the Windows operating system, Bertelsmann needed to know that the Windows port of its mainframe software could handle 60,000 screen requests per hour by 1,000 call center operators - much more than the earlier migrated system was handling in production. A benchmark test simulating 20 million customers in real-world scenarios, conducted at the Microsoft Technology Center in Munich with the participation of Micro Focus and Unisys, supported 170,000 screen requests by 1,500 operators - far above the benchmark goals - plus another 51,000 orders and 130,000 payments in simultaneous batch processing.
