At RBoS
I worked on the major project to transfer and convert all
the Natwest data onto the RboS systems. The conversion and
integration project was the biggest project of its kind ever
implemented anywhere in Europe. £158 billion was transfered
between systems in a single weekend implementation. The project
was a resounding success not least indicated by the sharp
gains in the RBoS share price after October 9th. I worked
as a systems analyst on the team responsible for mapping data
from one system to the other. My responsibilities included:
|
|
|
>
|
Analysing
data structures to map data from one system to the other. |
|
>
|
Investigating
testing failures related to data issuess. |
|
>
|
Documenting
data requirements for test environments and manually populated
data structures. |
|
>
|
Conducting
system wide searches for relevant mapped data. |
|
>
|
Estimating
DASD requirements for test systems based on test specifications. |
|
>
|
Managing
and allocating use of the DASD storage pools by analysing
past usage and projecting future needs. |
|
|
Towards
the end of the project I worked shifts around the clock to
support the final stages of proving and Implementation.
