FLEXCUBE GAP analysis: find out what the target version already covers.
A Fit-to-Standard analysis, module by module, for a new implementation or an upgrade. Your scenarios run on the target environment, and every requirement gets a status and evidence.
- weeks for a typical scope
- 6–8weeks for a typical scope
- weeks for an express assessment
- 2–3weeks for an express assessment
- streams in parallel
- 3–4streams in parallel
- statuses in the GAP register
- 6statuses in the GAP register
Why the GAP analysis comes before the estimate
An upgrade estimate is only as good as the list of what has to change. Documentation says what a release can do. It does not say how it behaves with your products, your settings and your exceptions.
So we check the standard in practice: the bank's own scenarios, reproduced on the target version, with postings, statuses and the end-of-day result recorded as evidence. The outcome is a register the bank can decide on.
Pick the modules in scope
A typical scope: plan 6–8 weeks with 3–4 streams in parallel. If you only need the main risks first, an express assessment takes 2–3 weeks.
* Working days of one stream, sessions and documenting included. Streams run in parallel, so the days do not add up to calendar time and are not person-days.
How long it takes depends on what you bring
Typical scope shown. Pick a row to see what happens in it.
About 8–10 module groups of average complexity, current and target configuration available, 3–4 analysts in parallel, owners who answer within 2 working days.
Module sessions2–3 sessions of 90–120 minutes per module. The bank shows the real operation and the analyst reproduces it on the target.
Five steps, one business scenario at a time
Beyond the normal operation: rejection, cancellation, correction, boundary dates and exchange with other systems.
Every requirement ends with one of six statuses
Not enough data yet. It never counts as Fit, and it gets an owner and a date to close.
Requirement: block closing a linked account while an active deposit exists.
Evidence: scenario TD-07, exact release, setup and test record.
Status: Open
What the bank receives
- Fit / GAP matrix by module, with test records
- Agreed To-Be processes, accounting and integration changes
- Prioritized backlog with owners, dependencies, effort by role and a budget range
- Implementation plan with stages, risks, migration reconciliations and the basis for SIT / UAT
After the analysis
The results support a decision: launch the programme, study some blocks further, change the scope or postpone. Approving the analysis does not close the GAPs or replace system acceptance. Development, SIT / UAT and migration are planned separately, and there is no obligation to continue with us.
