2. Vision Statement

The vision of this project is to seamlessly transition Test Republic Bank's account management from a 30-year-old Cobol-based mainframe system to a modern, cloud-based SaaS solution using Temenos' Transact core banking product. This transition will ensure continuous access to accounts for all clients and provide a robust, future-proof banking system by the deadline of New Year's Eve, 2025.

3. Business Objectives

  • Successfully migrate 100,000 retail checking and savings accounts to Temenos' Transact.
  • Ensure zero disruption to client access during the transition.
  • Decommission the legacy mainframe system.
  • Integrate Temenos' Transact with Paymentus and LendingPad systems.
  • Implement Selenium-based automated testing.
  • Design a user interface that exclusively uses shades of blue.

4. Project Scope

In Scope:

  • Migration of all account types including checking, savings, CDs, Money Market accounts, mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and personal loans.
  • Closing and refunding accounts with $100 or less.
  • Integration with Paymentus for third-party payments.
  • Integration with LendingPad for LOS.
  • Development of Selenium code for automated testing.
  • Design and implementation of a blue-themed user interface.

Out of Scope:

  • Upgrades or changes to Paymentus and LendingPad systems beyond integration.
  • Additional color themes or UI designs outside of blue shades.
  • Feature enhancements beyond the core functionalities of Temenos' Transact.

8. Constraints
