Sallie Mae and Isos Technology
When Sallie Mae® acquired Southwest Student Services (SSSC) they realized the need to align the company websites and also the magnitude of the migration to enable the SSSC website to meet Sallie Mae processes. With these goals in mind, SSSC and Sallie Mae required experts in the on-demand application arena to lead the project and steer it toward these objectives. Isos Technology was selected for the project and provided consultants with the skills to make the transition.
Isos Technology Services
With the migration task on the horizon, the Isos consultants quickly evaluated the requirements and completed existing requirements to develop new processes to meet commitments to existing clients. During the first migration phase the consultants provided the technical know how for converting the SSSC website from IBM’s WebSphere Application Server (WAS) v4.x to WAS v5.1 on IBM’s iSeries servers. This also allowed the development team to migrate their IDE from VisualAge for Java to Rational Application Developer (RAD). In the second migration phase, the consultants now had the task of migrating from WAS v5.1 on the iSeries to a Linux platform hosted in the Sallie Mae data center. Once the application servers had been migrated to the Sallie Mae platforms the Isos team began the final phase of integrating the SSSC web applications with the Sallie Mae applications, and final completed the goals by transitioning into a support role for the web application of Sallie Mae.
Upon the completion of the final phase, the Isos consultants had successfully completed the objectives of the initial migration plans and in the process prepared the SSSC and Sallie Mae technical team to take over the daily support duties.
