The new automated banking system should be uniform and centralized. It should provide support of a layered design of bank, end-to-end customer service in all regional branches, cutting of costs for customer service execution of operations (the front, bek), acceleration of an output of new products to the market at the expense of the centralized setup of products and services and also a possibility of integration of regional branches. The software which is a part of the automated banking system should be included in the unified register of the Russian programs.

Setup and installation of a system in the existing IT infrastructure RSHB should be performed in four main stages. On the first all hardware-software complex of the new core banking system should be implemented, initial setup of general-system parameters is carried out, reference books are updated. Further replacement flowing CORE BANKING SYSTEM "Biscuit" in the first regional bank branch should be made.

At the second stage consecutive replacement of the old core banking system in one branch should be performed. At the third stage the head division of bank should be transferred to a new system.

As DWH in these solutions the integrated distributed disk space of complexes implemented using high-performance store cells (Exadata Storage Servers or FusionCube Storage Nodes) and a specialized software of Exadata Storage Software for Oracle Exadata Database Machine or FusionStorage Advanced Edition for Huawei FusionCube is used.

In case of positive results of the load tests which are carried out on other platforms inclusion of these platforms in the project is possible.
