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.
