Using sed for case insensitive search

Hi,

I have a file named "test_file" that has the below content. It has words in upper/lower cases

Code:

PRODOPS
prodOPS
ProdOps
PRODops
escalate
Shell

My requirement is to replace all the "prodops" (what ever case it may be) with "productionoperations".

I tried using the "i" option with sed as below, but my version of UNIX does not support "i" option in sed.

Code:

sed 's/prodops/productionoperations/i' test_file > test_file_temp

Can anyone help me in this?

Thanks
