A university I worked at migrated from independent VMS systems (student, finance, HR) to an ERP system. To make that implementation easier, they only converted the most recent few years of data.

Last I heard they had some sort of virtual machines emulating Alpha hardware still running those legacy systems.

My current employer (also higher ed.) is hosting somebody's ES40. Some people in higher ed. really, really liked VMS and the Alpha/Itanium platforms.
