Catalysing data modernization for operational excellence

A renowned bank in the UAE modernized their data infrastructure to achieve streamlined operations and enhanced compliance standards. 

BUSINESS NEED 

To maintain competitiveness in a dynamic market, the client recognized the need to upgrade its software environment for compliance with regulatory standards and improved operational efficiency. 

SYSTECH’S DELIVERY 

A strategic data modernization approach that aligned with the client’s business objectives and regulatory obligations while also future proofing its technology infrastructure. 

OVERVIEW 

The bank recognized the critical importance of maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. However, the existing infrastructure hindered the bank’s ability to deliver seamless services to its customers, impacting its overall performance. 

They wanted a solution that would not only address its compliance requirements but also modernize its operational infrastructure to drive efficiency and effectiveness across its operations.  

THE CHALLENGE 

Given the disparities between the legacy and new environments, it was crucial to make adjustments to ensure seamless integration and functionality within the updated system. Addressing these compatibility concerns required precise analysis and refinement of syntax, with prompts to align with the specifications of the new software environment. Overcoming these challenges highlighted the team’s expertise in software migration, facilitating a smooth transition while preserving the integrity and functionality of essential analytics processes. 

THE DETAILED SOLUTION PROCESS 

A comprehensive inventory of the environment details from the client involved compiling information on existing software versions, objects, and environment specifications.  

Installing and configuring software components, using IBM DB2, DataStage and Cognos, ensured all software elements were correctly set up and optimized for efficient operation within the new environment. 

Data migration, using a backup and restore process, enabled seamless transfer of data from the old set up to the new environment with minimal disruption to the client’s operations while safeguarding the integrity of data. 

Adjustments to the syntax of insights, addressing discrepancies between the old and new environments, resolved compatibility issues with insights. These modifications, along with the prompt configurations, ensured the insights functioned effectively within the updated system. 

Through meticulous planning and execution, Systech’s comprehensive approach successfully navigated migration complexities, delivering a seamless transition with enhanced operational efficiency and regulatory compliance for the client. 

THE IMPACT 

Smooth post-migration operations, with significant improvement in their operational efficiency. The analytics and insights functioned seamlessly within the updated system, ensuring that stakeholders could access accurate and timely information and facilitating informed decision-making. 

Compliance adherence in the updated system meant a framework that conformed to the regulatory standards in the data management practices. This included data security measures, audit trails, and data integrity checks, all of which contributed to a robust compliance posture. 

Enhanced productivity meant the analytics were extracted on point, translating into enhanced productivity and reduced operational risks for the client. With compliance requirements met, the client could focus resources on core business activities. 

Reduced operational risks with minimized disruptions allowed the client to streamline processes and improve workflows and ultimately deliver better services to their clientele. 

THE ADDED VALUE 

With strategic insights, Systech orchestrated a smooth migration process, bolstering operational efficiency for the client. Their proactive stance mitigated risks while tailoring the new environment to align precisely with the client’s unique needs. As a result, the client experienced seamless integration and improved functionality, perfectly harmonizing with their strategic business goals.
