Business Challenges
Bank of India, India’s leading public sector bank, consolidated its business by upgrading the operations to ‘Finacle’ (Infosys Ltd’s core banking solution) from their in-house developed legacy application used for more than a decade.
- The migration of 2200+ branches took place in stages by establishing a reasonable verification process within the bank.
- However, during the process and after the branches resumed operations on the new platform, the data purity challenges were felt.
- It was thought prudent by the management to independently assess the purity of the data by verifying the old data (legacy application) and new data (in core banking application).
- The tons (in several Terabytes) of data verification on proprietary applications were a huge challenge without disrupting the business and with the least intervention of the IT department or application vendor.
