Project summary
Leading IT service provider for the financial sector
Industry: Financial Services
Collaboration: More than 20 years
Focus: Migration & Modernization
Use Case: Legacy System Modernization
Project Objective
Enhance, modernize, and provide ongoing operational support for an established SAS landscape used for regulatory reporting.
Key Project Aspects:
- Analyze banking-specific requirements in collaboration with the relevant experts
- Refactor SAS applications and provide technical support for mainframe-to-Linux migrations
- Investigate and resolve production issues promptly during ongoing operations
Tech Stack
The Starting Point
The IT service provider manages complex applications and data sets for the regulatory reporting of a banking group. The SAS landscape, which has evolved over the years, must be regularly adapted to new business and regulatory requirements. At the same time, complex program structures, computationally intensive processing steps, and dependencies on existing mainframe processes make maintenance difficult.
Production issues must be addressed promptly, as they can affect critical reporting processes. Technological changes, too, cannot be addressed through isolated changes. They require an understanding of banking operations, detailed knowledge of the existing systems, and coordinated development of the software and underlying data structures.
