Orion Governance Use Case

Delivering Solutions that Save Money

Over the years, Orion Governance has been helping organizations reduce costs and improve operational efficiency throughout their modernization projects. Here are a few typical challenges we help address:

  • How do I mitigate paying hefty fines from an audit?
  • How do I lower my Total Cost Of Ownership?
  • How Many Duplicate Reports do I have?
  • In near real-time, how may one change impact my financial reporting?
  • Which critical business process uses this type of information?
  • How do I reduce my IT Spend?
  • How do I trace my information across my entire IT landscape?
  • How do I create data literacy among all my employees?
  • Where are all the personal identifiable (PII) about our customers?

Reducing Total Cost of Ownership

Business Problem

The client was implementing an application modernization project that involved rewriting all the business processes in Java. This re-platforming effort had resulted in code bloat and significant delays. The business was getting increasingly worried about the outcomes after having spent years and millions of dollars. A particular pain point is that much of this effort is manual and it is not sustainable to hire expensive consultants to keep doing this.

The Orion Governance Solution

  • Visibility into the quality of code delivered by vendors
  • Detect bad coding practices
  • Reduce maintenance caused by unnecessary code duplication
  • Reduce operational risk by detecting bad coding practices

Business Benefits with Orion Governance

By exposing bad practices, the business was able to pre-empt a maintenance nightmare post acceptance of the product. The outsourcing vendor was asked to remediate their code after having only spent a few hours in the harvester to find the anomalies. The said case involved more than 2 million lines of Java code.

Cost Savings

The ability to generate near real-time traceability saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in resource costs and offset penalties that would have arisen from non-compliance. Also, since all this process is automated, the client saved money by reducing overhead and minimizing expensive consulting engagement.

Determining Cost Savings

Business Problem

The client had no visibility into the information flow in their legacy system. As a result, they had no clear idea what parts of the legacy system needed to be migrated. Nor could they estimate the actual cost of modernization. In addition, they have a difficult time sizing the new platform.

The Orion Governance Solution

Orion’s EIIG enabled the client to understand the flow of information before the project. With EIIG, they could ensure that the before and after pictures are identical. The client also leveraged EIIG’s similarity analysis to eliminate duplicate logic and augment data quality, avoiding GarbageInGarbageOut. Auto-mapping of the business domains and owners to the information flow greatly enhanced the client’s data governance capability.

Business Benefits with Orion Governance

With EIIG, the client could accurately assess their migration readiness and were able to prioritize the right workloads to be migrated to the new platform. As a result, their modernization project was successfully implemented, on schedule and within budget.

Cost Savings

The client saved millions of dollars by reducing migration costs as well as unnecessary license costs.
