Banking Giant Needs to Migrate Critical Applications
Quickly
The Company
One of the world's largest financial services organizations, Citicorp has been a user of ESI’s software for a number of
years.
The Challenge
Late in 2001, they came to the decision to migrate their existing check processing systems, all COBOL-based,
away from an unsupported mainframe environment.
The
solution
They called upon ESI to help migrate 11 of their major applications
to Mpact, and to train their developers in the use of the Mpact toolset.
The result
Due in large part to the capability of Mpact to
quickly generate data-intensive applications, this portion of their overall migration took place on schedule and under
budget. They remain exceptionally pleased with the capabilities of both ESI and Mpact!
The firm’s customer service personnel
are able to enter orders more efficiently with better, more complete information. The ability to track orders online and relay valuable information to
customers and warehouse personnel is greatly enhanced. In addition, the firm moved all development activity to the PC platform. All A Series applications were
easily transferred to the new environment and an estimated $300,000 hardware and software upgrade was indefinitely postponed.
