Edward Berard famously once said “Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.”
Unfortunately given the fast-paced nature of transformation in the Banking industry, software development processes have been warped to save time. Whether your process is agile, waterfall or a mix of both; whether you are writing traditional requirements or agile user stories, detailed specifications go a long way in determining success of any program.
Data integrity is paramount when converting Commercial Banking clients across platforms. Whether it is a re-platform or merger, bank clients have a higher threshold for issues in feature/functionality/UX over missing or inaccurate data. The existing methods to validate data are predominantly to manually sample a small subset, usually less than 5% of the total data set and extrapolate based on that. Where automation is used is to script check sum based validations which are limited to providing validation results on total number of records. Unfortunately, both these approaches leave banks severely exposed to extremely high levels of data anomalies on conversion day. Given the sheer volume and complexity of data entities involved in a Commercial Banking nothing short of 80%+ validation of the total data volume at a record level makes the cut!
Go-Live Faster partners with Bank product and technology teams to understand business objectives, define customer journeys and experience. Using these high-level documents, the Go-Live Faster business analyst teams create measurable, traceable, consistent, detailed and mutually agreeable business requirements, epics, user stories and technical specifications. When required, we also help Banks detail out Business, Enterprise, and Solution Architecture.
Our proprietary accelerators for business analysis and requirements documentation include standard out of box requirements for treasury/cash management web and mobile applications. These out of box requirements make up 70%+ of the typical requirements banks build their next generation treasury/cash management applications with. Using these accelerators banks can reduce the typical time taken to create these documents by ~50%.
Go-Live Faster designs intelligent QA processes using a combination of its test optimization algorithms, test case design techniques and defect repositories. This results in - right engineered QA processes and reduces false positives/negatives and help teams focus on the issues that matter the most!
The Go-Live Faster data migration approach is built taking the shortcomings of the existing approaches into consideration. We target the 80%+ validation of data volume at the record level using a proprietary four stage approach.
Our proprietary accelerators for data migration validation include fully automated migration validation scripts to migrate from any source platform to any target platform. A sample list of applications we have helped our clients migrate from or migrate to include:
These automated scripts help our clients validate 80%+ of their data volume in record time. Using these accelerators banks can dramatically improve their confidence on data migrating on conversion day
Go-Live Faster project management teams consist of project managers across treasury management, payments, lending, card, and digital account opening amongst many others.
Quality Assurance is in our DNA- we were founded as a quality assurance and testing firm. Our approach to help our clients deliver quality products has resulted in a negligible number of issues leaked into production over the past 10 years! At Go-Live Faster, we help our clients bake quality into their processes from requirements through development through testing and deployment into production. At each stage we ensure our clients are not merely checking off boxes, but rather simulating the end customer experience while designing, developing, testing and releasing with full knowledge of how end customers will use the application.
All of these accelerators are easily configurable to any bank implementation and reduce time to test from months to weeks.
