Predictable & Reliable Service

Banks and financial institutions have huge databases to which they add large number of records on a daily basis. Over a long period, these databases tend to become cumbersome and unwieldy and the software processes executed on them begin taking an unduly long time to process. This results in significant time and income losses to them. Delays in processes not only result in efficiency losses but adversely affect customer services also.

We offer our database tuning services customized to your requirements to ensure that your computer systems continue to process data efficiently and quickly.

Process Implementation

Documented processes need to be implemented to achieve the desired operational efficiency.At Sirma BC our support begins with process documentation and continues through implementation till the targeted efficiency is attained and the contribution to your bottom line demonstrated.

Data migration is a key process in any system implementation, upgrade, or consolidation. A well-defined and process-oriented data migration strategy is vitally important to the timeliness and ultimate success of the venture. These projects yield high business benefits (such as cost savings, increased productivity and improved data manageability) but at the same time they tend to involve a high level of risk due to the volume and criticality/complexity of the data.

One of the major problems with many data migration processes is that the legacy system support team is not aware of the new system and its data structure and the new incoming system vendors are not aware of the data structure of legacy system. This gap becomes severe if the legacy system is quite old and the support is very minimal. We at Sirma strive to bridge this gap. We work with the legacy system team from inception, and learn the legacy system to the extent of automating process rather than human resources that can be a risk for error and are more cost-effectively deployed elsewhere.

The migration is done by creating a design that maps the data from the old system to the new system in a way that relates the old data formats to the new formats and requirements. Depending on the complexity of the project, few or many phases can be involved, but at a minimum includes

Data extraction: The data is read from the old system
Data transformation: Legacy data is transformed into a format that is compatible with the new system
Data loading: Data is written into the new system.

or as we call it IMPACTO – ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)

Our Data validation techniques include

Data Validations

Load Balancing Validations
Business/Scenarios based Validations

Life Cycle Testing

Sirma’s testing services provides the best in class support for all testing needs which helps to reduce the risk of application failure and ensure maximum up time of the systems. We at Sirma follow the software development life cycle and software test cycle’s (STLC) systematic approach to testing requirements. The following are some of our core competencies, but our testing services are not limited to:

Manual Testing

We perform detailed quality analysis (QA) with a focus to enhance software viability. We focus on the software’s specifications, user friendly nature, and the user acceptance testing (customer onboarding). Our focused manual testing process helps in debugging software to keep a smooth operation.

Automation Testing

When the system is stable, we perform automation testing. For any new release, we check that the new software release is not detrimentally affecting the product. If product is large, manual testing will take overwhelming amount of time. Hence, our automation testing practice is put to task. Automation testing is done on the old version while the new version goes through detailed manual tests. We combine methods to ensure that any product is delivering at maximum potential in the most efficient way.

Performance Testing

When systems are stable, we check the load bearing capability to ensure that no crashes occur. The stability count makes certain that the system is comfortable adjusting to the number of users on it. This part of our work is crucial to the determined functioning of the system. We check the speed, response time, reliability, resource usage, scalability of a software program under their expected workload.

Web Security/Ethical Hacking

We ensure protective storage of Personal Identifying Information (PII) that is essential to the long-term viability of a software. We follow all compliance norms (HIPPA/PCI/ISO) to make sure that data is protected at all cost. Furthermore, we ensure failure protection by focusing on software performance and load balancing of servers to ensure smooth running.

Our TaaS model includes:

To process validations
Process audit and validations
Functional testing
Business Uses Case Validations
Business Continuity Process Validations
Load / Stress testing
Performance and Benchmark testing
Regression testing
