Challenge
A Canadian bank experienced a sharp spike in monthly CPU charges but was unable to pinpoint the issue after 18 months of internal investigation.
CPT Global’s Actions
- CPT Global quickly identified the root cause – a legacy Assembler macro was using 26x more CPU cycles than it used to due to a hardware upgrade.
- Our SME recommended and implemented 24 specific code changes to address the inefficiency.
Results
- $480,000 saved annually in CPU charges.
- Improved user efficiency through optimized Workload Manager settings.
By turning to CPT Global’s expertise, the bank resolved the issue quickly, generating substantial savings and operational gains.
