This application was chosen for a pilot/POV because it is a standalone application, and one transaction code, or type, can be processed alone (adding a member name) and be shown end-to-end. Demonstrating end-to-end processing was important to the customer as it would prove that Oracle could handle all the processing that takes place to the add the member transaction type on a nightly basis. Finding a standalone application in any IT environment, particularly legacy mainframe system, can be very difficult. Most applications rely on different databases located in different data centers, call application code that is part of other applications, and/or are dependent on integration with internal or external systems in order to complete an end-to-end process. Even though the application has 22 transaction types or codes, the processing is set up so that just one of the transaction codes (add new member) can be completely processed for the pilot.
