DekaBank replatforms with GFT
A modernised core application
GFT is modernising 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 minutes 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
- Modernise 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 at 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
