Data Migration and Middleware Upgrade for Leading NZ Bank

Expert360 was engaged to lead the transformation with a goal of zero unplanned downtime (99.99% uptime) across the middleware platform.

The program upgraded and migrated all the bank’s transaction middleware applications, databases, and services from a large, monolithic mainframe hardware technology to a fully resilient commodity hardware solution. 

‍

With the upgrade and migration the Expert360 team ensured a fully resilient application middleware and fully automated platform build were completed. They also managed fully automated testing and in doing so, reduced this to four or five days, down from 6-months. 

This major transformation was completed with zero unplanned downtime. Within the first two years following the transformation, the resource and efficiency savings were over $100k. 

The team worked with the business to deliver a major development and built a robust system to support one of New Zealand’s largest bank’s well into the future.
