Production Support Optimization for SunTrust Bank is a large complex project involving many Lines of Business and a large number of applications with stringent SLA conditions. The project involves providing the client with round the clock production support and value added services like preventive maintenance and reviewing impacts of new releases. The objective is to maintain the health of the data integration systems and avoid any impact to the downstream LOBs or departments.

 

This project also includes following services.

ü      Application production support comprising of incident, user request and problem tickets. This includes Emergency break fix and associated unit testing.

ü      Perfective maintenance to avert future foreseeable application issues, in order to improve performance, quality, reliability, efficiency, usability and maintainability of the application.

ü      Business continuity activities including, disaster recovery planning and support for exercises and events.

There were 130 applications including monthly and daily. Applications were either loading the data mart or providing files to downstream. Requirement of this project was to make sure that issues were resolved within defined SLA time and with correct data to downstream or Data Mart. Applications were based on Debit card Data, Credit card data and Retail/Commercial Loans. In case of issues with production data, we were required to work in parallel to Business/End Users. There were critical daily and monthly applications which were having direct impact on reports generated for Business Users.
