Woolworths Financial Services VisionPLUS Project Goes Live!

Cape Town, South Africa ? 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.?
