Health check challenges and objectives

 

In the current wildly competitive digital market, no player can afford to be unprepared for market change or suffer a system outage or deliver poor customer experience. Failure has profound consequences: Escalating business risk, stringent regulatory fines and reputational damage leading to loss of revenue, a higher total cost of ownership (TCO) and dwindling market share. A Hogan core banking system health check helps you mitigate risk, lower your TCO and maximize investment returns.

Learn how a Hogan core banking system health check can increase transaction volumes and identify obstacles.

 

How Hogan health check services work in practice

 

Bespoke health checks are based on each client’s plans for growth, perhaps through acquisition or change, due to regulatory or market demand. We assess the core banking system to establish that all technical processes have been set up correctly. This includes system architecture design, setup and configuration, risk of downtime, database inefficiencies and so on. Our Hogan health check services analyze business processes to identify pain points, like everyday tasks running slower or an increase in development and process complexity. We also deliver bank recommendations for improvement in functionality, performance, TCO savings, etc.

FAQ

Our Hogan health check services allow Hogan users to pinpoint issues with their installation and receive guidance on how to fix them in the most suitable way possible.

During a Hogan health check, we assess every aspect of the Hogan installation’s current state, identify the desired state and draft up a high-level roadmap to achieve it. During the assessment, our Discovery Team will take a close look at the system architecture, configuration, infrastructure, integrations and database management.

Our analysis will reveal bottlenecks, inefficiencies, risks and cost-saving opportunities to help you reduce your TCO and maximize ROI.

With our help, you’ll gain a full understanding of the root causes of your pain points associated with Hogan installation, be it unexpected downtime during peak times or slow run-of-the-mill tasks. Our Hogan experts will also outline possible solutions.

Here are three clear signs that your Hogan core banking system can benefit from a health check:

  • Run-of-the-mill tasks take longer to complete than they should, be it in peak or normal times. Your services may show high latency and unexpected downtime or become unavailable during Black Friday, end of month/year (EoM/Y) or close of business (CoB) periods
  • Your platform is becoming increasingly complex and outgrowing the initial scope, hindering operational performance
  • Your Hogan maintenance costs are rising, increasing the total cost of ownership as a result. If support and maintenance costs account for over 5% of your annual IT budget, you’re likely to be wasting financial resources on an inefficient platform

During Zoreza global’s Hogan health check, our Discovery Team will:

  • Kick off the health check. We’ll collect all documentation to power our analysis and set up meetings to go through outdated information if necessary. We’ll also establish a communication framework, arrange meetings and create a shared calendar
  • Conduct a thorough analysis of your Hogan system. We’ll analyze your Hogan installation, identify gaps and L3 changes, review the infrastructure workload and quantify changes to the interface and integration frameworks
  • Document all findings. We’ll create a detailed report with our findings and recommendations on addressing revealed issues with possible solutions
  • Present findings. We’ll discuss health check results with stakeholders, collect feedback, and review further deliverables and activities. We’ll also organize employee onboarding and conduct an exit discovery phase

Our Discovery Team working on a Hogan health check consists of:

  • Project manager
  • Lead technical architects
  • Hogan senior technical experts
  • Infrastructure expert
  • Solution architect

A typical Hogan health check takes six project weeks. Here’s a breakdown of such a timeline:

  • Week 1: Kicking off the project, reviewing internal documentation, finalizing the scope and planning assessment activities
  • Weeks 2-3: Analyzing and documenting the current state of the Hogan installation (including client processing, database configuration and capacity, and dependencies), interviewing stakeholders, identifying and documenting the installation’s desired state
  • Weeks 4-5: Identifying and documenting gaps between the current and future state, outlining process, procedure and configuration changes required, drafting up a high-level roadmap and plan
  • Week 6: Drafting up the report, presenting health check findings to stakeholders, finalizing the report
