The document summarizes the successful migration of PRAVEX-BANK PJSCCB in Ukraine to the FLEXCUBE universal banking solution. Some key points:
- The migration was completed 5 months ahead of schedule in May 2012 and was nearly perfect, with applications and EOD/reporting working from day 1.
- All staff were trained and the new system has been stable and performing since day 2. Infrastructure tuning was only needed on the first two days.
- The project was completed on time and within budget using an innovative approach of sharing risks across green field testing, a 20% pilot region, and the full 80% rollout.
- Strong governance and involvement of the project management

How we did it ? Strong governance with regular ISBD Headquarter
and Pravex Top Management involvement
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS & LESSONS LEARNED
1. GOVERNANCE: experienced project management team with deep involvement of ISBD
Headquarter top management, leveraging hourly activities tracking and issue killing at
the birth approach
2. PRAVEX BANK FULL INVOLVEMENT: Pravex personnel inside all strategic streams
(Operations, Core Team, interfaces, migration, business processes redesign,)
3. SCOPE CONTROL: Plain vanilla approach applied since the beginning
4. RISK MANAGEMENT: rollout approach applied in Pravex is a good compromise between
speed and risk (Green Field, 20% bank, 80% bank)
5. LOCAL CULTURE AND LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE COUNTS: such a complex system
implementation requires a deep knowledge of local behavior and rules
6. QUICK-WINS FROM FIRST ROLLOUT: concept applied Pravex Bank with Pravex
Telegraph. Used from the start, it can increase dramatically the end users buy-in
7. METHODOLOGY: use Pravexs experience to tune methodology (e.g. analysis)
8. 8
What can be reused for other Foreign Banks of IntesaSanpaolo?
Pravexs experience can be reused to adopt Constellations
architecture in other bank, decreasing implementation costs,
timeline and managing properly risks

one of the 11 foreign banks of IntesaSanpaolo) experiences
Pravex
BIB
Best Pratices
Flexcube
OBJECTIVE
Find the best combination between
Flexcube standard features, Pravexs
Legal regulatory requirements and
BIB best pratices
APPROACH
Plain Vanilla approach in action: after half review of processes such as C/A, Deposits, Debit cards, there are
NO new (additional) recorded GAPs between processes and Flexcube functionalities; some changes might be
needed for payments area which is traditionally more complex in Ukraine/Russia area
Leverage of BIB experience and practice, change of some processes are initiated and agreed toward higher
efficiency and client oriented business (ex. reducing checks, paper less,)
Structured review using Corporate Business Processes Tool (ARIS), which will enable a structured business
process redesign and an easier process management and maintenance

Dynamic Services: use what you need, pay for what you use

Dynamic services: who can provide for them?
Prerequisites of Dynamic Services
They require competence and proven experience
They work better with many environments and more than 1 customer (resources sharing)
Can we satisfy this?
We, Pravex, cannot do it directly, but we have two options:
internally, with ISP Group Services
externally, with a facility management provider like IBM, HP, Oracle/SUN
We have several environments (11), and potentially we are the first of several customers.
If we do not develop these logics from the beginning, it will be hard to change in the future
