VisionPLUS to HPS PowerCard migration in UAE
Business Objectives
To successfully migrate Credit, Prepaid & Islamic credit cards portfolio
from existing VisionPLUS card processor platform together with data
held inhouse at T24 system to HPS PowerCARD platform.
The Challenges
Multiple challenges were encountered during the entire migration project. Thefollowing list provides a glimpse of those challenges:
- Inherent challenges posed by multiple sources of data, active card accounts from prior processor and 90 days past due, written-off accounts data from a different source system. During the time when the cards portfolio was growing, certain system changes were made like split limit implementation, these were posing threat to the data consistency while reconciling.
- There were challenges in understanding and setting up the desired parameters due to change in migration approach in UAT and PROD respectively.
- Change in migration strategy very close to the planned migration change was one of the biggest challenge. Instead of the cycle day cut-off it was decided to migrate on a non-cycle day.
