Archiving and browsing of historical data
Customer's Objective
- Compliance with legal requirements - according to the law, the bank is obligated to retain information about accounts and operations performed thereon for several years - such information is used for the purposes of internal audit, for the police and courts, and for customers, for example in handling complaints
Challenges
- An archiving database was established for the purposes of retaining historical data from banking information systems
- Data from systems whose operation has been terminated is also entered into the archive
- In order to fulfil the legal requirements, it is necessary to easily browse the archiving database and to generate statements from it
- It is necessary to investigate problems and issues of access rights to individual reports
Profinit solution
- The PASY web application for browsing data from six banking systems which are stored in the archiving database
- Enables user-friendly browsing of data and generation of statements according to criteria defined according to the bank's needs
Benefits
- 50% saving of costs thanks to the possibility of terminating one of the banking systems and, via the PASY application, to view its data stored in the archive (in comparison with the situation in which the system would remain in operation during the period prescribed by law)
- 75% saving in annual costs thanks to the possibility of retaining old data from obe of the banking systems in the archiving system (compared with purchasing additional memory capacity for the system)
- Browser flexibility - possibility to easily define a new type of report in a given format (PDF, Word, Excel, Text, HTML)
- Signing into the application and administration of access rights to individual reports is handled using the single sign-on method, which lowers the costs of operating the application and makes it more convenient for users while maintaining a high degree of security
- Preservation of transparent IT architecture thanks to the possibility of phasing out information systems that are no longer in use.
