Project Description
The original CalPERS Backbridge solution worked reasonably well, but it had three main imperfections: legacy programs did not have access to up-to-the-minute data; record deletions were not applied correctly to the VSAM file; and supporting this infrastructure incurred significant costs due to data discrepancies and cleanup. After considering alternatives, CalPERS chose Trinity Technology Group to reengineer their legacy systems. This new system, the Backbridge Decommission (BBD), eliminated imperfections by utilizing a middleware layer that would directly call and retrieve data from the corporate database.
