DekaBank Replatforms With GFT
A modernized core application
GFT is modernizing DekaBank’s Cobol-based host application by re-platforming it onto a modern, cloud-enabled infrastructure and enabling the benefits of modern technologies, environments and architectures.
Performance enhancement
90-minute-earlier data provision at the end of the month
Cost efficiency
Permanently lower operating costs through reduced
Know-How
Knowledge transfer to the bank team
Challenge
- Modernize a key part of the existing core banking application by connecting the sales partners to the depot system with only minimal code changes
- Replatform as an initial step in the transformation of business-critical applications with continuous cooperation with all existing peripheral systems and databases
- Reduction of running costs for infrastructure and software by reducing MIPS, especially for reporting date processing (month-end/year-end)
Additional requirements for the migrated application:
- Operability without emulation in the target environment
- Ongoing maintenance by existing developers
Engagement
Benefit
- Despite the necessary additional data exchange between host and Unix system, up to 90 minutes faster processing of the processes
- Reduction of previously occurring additional MIPS costs for key date processing at the end of the month and year
