A german premium car manufacturer had to replace a very old and stable Cost/Accounting procedure, because the experts with key knowledge retired and it was impossible to maintain it.The requirements for the new solution were to provide identical results with a simpler and cheaper architecture.

SOLUTIONBasic Tasks• An environment that conforms to enterprise standards - EPV needs to run on a virtual Windows server - MS-SQL Database runs on another Windows Server• Design and develop programs and processes - Transfer of SMF-Data several times a day - Customer specific processing runs as pure JAVA (batch) - Customize EPV aggregation and metrics• Test/maintain parallel processing and comparison - Setup parallel operation without affecting current work - Compare old solution and EPV results (SQL preferred)• About 600 GB of SMF data each day• For 6 months the two solutions were operated in parallel: - Intensive testing and comparing - Fine-Tuning of the EPV process to match the old procedure data as close as possible

BENEFITSThe project was completed on time, the old solution was decommissioned and significant savings were realized.• After 6 months of parallel operations:• Accounting data is 99,9% the same• Interfaces switched to new EPV based database/reports• Old Cost/Accounting solution decommissioned• The new interface based on EPV is working fine and much easier to manage• A younger generation of experts now control the environment
