RE-ENGINEERING PEF
The project was carried out taking into account the need to reduce the management costs of the software pool dedicated to PEF.
-66%

Solution
After an in-depth analysis of the application's consumption, we realized that it was necessary to go beyond the customer's expectations to ensure a lasting and technologically advanced cost reduction. In fact, the analysis revealed that 50% of the application's consumption was linked to consultation and reading operations; it is from this data that the idea of redesigning the architecture of the application park was born.
The customer needed to reduce MIPS consumption of the Electronic Credit Practices application, typically in the top 10 of the most used applications. The application was central to all credit granting / review processes (from loans to credit / debit cards, up to structured finance) and interfaced with a large part of the information system to retrieve the data necessary for its decision-making processes.
The request was approached by dividing the project into two phases. The first phase saw an application implementation aimed at improving the monitoring of the functions used to which it was then possible to associate the related machine consumption. This allowed us to conduct a detailed analysis of the most used features, from which it emerged that most of the consumption was attributable to the consultation functions. In the second phase we were therefore able to proceed with the implementation of the actual solution, rewriting the data access logic from the COBOL language to Java and achieving a reduction in consumption equal to 2/3 of the original ones.
