Decades of Dedicated OpenVMS Support and Innovation
Technical Ability, Leadership and
C-Level Consultation
Our Story and Commitment
Founded on a foundation of deep technical knowledge and dedication, MGFort LLC has built a reputation for dependable OpenVMS consulting and managed services. We are committed to delivering timely, knowledgeable support to maintain and enhance critical IT infrastructures for organizations worldwide.
OpenVMS is in our blood, we speak it, we use it, we know it better than some of our relatives. It's still the most reliable and secure operating system ever created.
🚀 OpenVMS Isn’t Dead. It’s Mission-Critical.
And it still needs experts.
For over 40 years, I’ve worked hands-on with OpenVMS environments running some of the most stable and business-critical systems in manufacturing, distribution, and enterprise operations.
From VAX…
To Alpha…
To Integrity…
To modern VSI OpenVMS…
I’ve helped organizations keep these systems stable, secure, optimized — and modernized.
💡 What I Do
I provide contract-based OpenVMS consulting services for organizations that:
• Need senior-level OpenVMS administration
• Run clustered environments and require optimization
• Are planning VAX/Alpha → x86 migrations
• Want emulator transitions using CHARON-VAX or CHARON-AXP
• Depend on Oracle Rdb / CODASYL databases
• Run ASK MANMAN ERP systems
• Need disaster recovery strategy and high availability architecture
• Require deep troubleshooting beyond general IT support
🛠 Technical Depth Matters
I support:
✔ OpenVMS Clusters
✔ Volume Shadowing & RMS Journaling
✔ Oracle Rdb / CODASYL DBMS
✔ ACMS, TDMS, FMS, CMS, DECforms
✔ DCL, FORTRAN, BASIC, Pascal, VAX C, C++, COBOL
✔ TCP/IP Services, DECnet, MultiNet, TCPware
✔ Hybrid OpenVMS + Windows environments
✔ Virtualized infrastructure using VMware vSphere
🎯 Why Organizations Call Me
Because OpenVMS environments don’t fail often…
…but when they do, they require someone who truly understands the architecture.
Not just “IT experience.”
Not just “legacy familiarity.”
But real OpenVMS depth.
If your organization:
• Needs stabilization
• Is planning modernization
• Is concerned about institutional knowledge loss
• Or simply wants an experienced OpenVMS advisor on standby
Let’s connect.
OpenVMS isn’t going away anytime soon.
It just needs the right people supporting it.
