We lead a total redesign of the Bank of England's cheque clearing data warehouse, which processes over £200m daily. We also optimised one of the most active credit card call centres in the world, improving system performance and stability, as well as working on systems involving image storage, document management and workflow. On a number of reporting applications, our efforts resulted in equally impressive results: In one case, increasing the speed with which reports were generated by over 20 times!
