Is it true that Rube Goldberg designed our rats nest of HR systems?
Get rid of SMDB now and lay me off !!!!!!
and the mess gets worse every day
that would be the best 'corporate action' of all
To be honest, it’s time to be acquired by State Street. They’ve come a long way while we were convoluting our systems with endless pointless Nexen migrations.
who cares....
so how many from each group being let go?
Didn’t our OPs guru Ann Fogarty already leave to go to State Street to rid herself of this entire mess?
best bet is to outsource the actual processing to the State Street platform which is far better, so we in operations can get rid of this entire mess
Hey… why not just migrate these three to GF without fixing anything?
found this, says it all on how this mess was created

Bye Mario! Bye fareed! Shining icons of leadership
Just fail to understand how we fail to address SMDB, year in, year out, even after GF migrations…. Is there no pride whatsoever in our work?
Toxic environment in pss and SMDB
I wonder who invented PSS
It's really just a sordid mess
Same could be said for SMDB
Overengineered fiasco we all can see
My corporate action is to leave this corporation
CDW SMDB PSS -the future?
No, one way or another they are the past
More being let go in nyc soon
just keep the architects away from it
Please untangle the mess of SMDB or get rid of it
For the systems I supported until my position was eliminated in January, the was ZERO funding for any improvements or enhancements. Even though we were supposed to be magically increasing efficiencies and reducing costs.
And the enhancements we tried to sneak in as production support took MONTHS for the business to test and sign off. I waited 8 months for them to test a fairly simple change that would save a person about 3 hours a day.
Fix the needful
Unfortunately with applications this bad, only the original authors can read it. That’s why they’re migrated and never improved.
Scary stuff indeed.
Maybe after the January layoffs clean house that can finally happen
That complete overhaul is needed now ! As typical the ‘brilliant’ architects will no doubt complicate every requirement with endless servers, engines , 25 new tables and queues in order to move A to B. Familiar with Rube Goldberg ?
There are great minds thinking of massive ways to improve these systems which will definitely overcomplicate them even more, perhaps splitting them into smaller systems which can grow exponentially into new overcomplicated, unsustainable, unmaintainable giants that don't do what is needed and will eventually need a complete overhaul down the road.
They keep telling us in operations they SMDB is so much flexible and scalable don’t think so
That too
Ohh you mean Data and Analytic Solutions specifically I take it!?!
If greenfield introduced new bugs, how did our lovely management get anything 'right'? Actually asset management servicing tech has a perfect record - they've been wrong every time.
Greenfield isn't supposed to be about new functionality or bug fixes. It's actually one of the things our leaders got right even though the execution was mediocre at best.
Migrations to Greenfield with no new functionality, no bug fixes and additional bugs introduced during the migration?
We in operations call SMDB the Sorry Mess Disaster Base
All 4 a convoluted mess
Yes, as a 'bad AI bot', it's probably one that this company developed.
Apply application??? Replace in India??? Seems like a bad AI bot is posting on here.
you forgot GSP mangled technological nightmare. All will replace in India next year.
