Hawker de Havilland, the local arm of aircraft engineering giant Boeing, will retire its 30-year-old VAX system in favour of its new Linux-based environment in the manufacture of parts for the company's next-generation 787 jets.

With about 1300 employees, Hawker de Havilland has been operating for more than 75 years and manages IT with two "legacy" ERP systems, according to applications and architecture manager Peter McTaggart.
