Cape Town, 2 November
2004 – PIC Solutions has assisted
Woolworths Financial Services (WFS) with the successful upgrade
of their VisionPLUS Account Processing
System from release 2.5 to release 8.14. This upgrade, which is
the first of its kind in South Africa, was implemented in July
2004.
PIC Solutions assisted
this leading financial services organisation with their planned
upgrade from release 2.5 to release 8.14 of VisionPLUS,
the world`s leading account processing system. This system
upgrade was a highly-complex 12-man-year project during which
close on 2000 system components were created or customised and
more than 8000 system components were migrated. In addition
approximately 200 000 000 data records were converted. PIC
Solutions personnel, using their extensive experience of the
VisionPLUS software and of previous VisionPLUS
conversions, complemented the WFS project team to effect this
upgrade.
Samuel Ngumeni, IT
Executive of Woolworths states, “We have enjoyed a close
working relationship with PIC Solutions for a number of years
and we are excited about the future prospects for Woolworths
Financial Services now that VisionPLUS 8.14
has gone live.”
Mike Crawley, Director of
Software Services at PIC Solutions, adds, “This VisionPLUS
upgrade included high level and detailed GAP analyses as well
as the complex task of ensuring that the VisionPLUS
release 8.14 base software was installed according to plan.
We are delighted that this VisionPLUS
project, which was a first in
South Africa, has successfully gone live.”
