Cost Reduction
Case Study: Optimize Applications to Reduce Costs for a Bank
Problem Statement
Our client's computing cost had runaway uncontrollably with their budget topping $100M. Maintaining and operating multiple systems resulted in high operational costs and incidence of errors while implementing new functionality was prohibitive due to overall complexity.
Business Benefits
- Reduced overall mainframe and distributed computing cycles by 7%
- Reduced data replications by 20%
Challenges
- Little to no documentation on some applications
- Lack of expertise in critical applications areas
How we Helped
- Performed reverse engineering on many Java implementations
- Performed application profiling for top tier applications within the bank
- Perform measurements of application performance levels
- Provided recommendations for application optimization
- Re-factored Java implementations
Disciplines
Reverse Engineering; UML; Java; Web Services - IBM Websphere; IBM CICS & DB2
