Barclays - Reconciliation Platform Migration

Migrated a production reconciliation platform processing 2M daily transactions with zero-disruption cutover.

Overview

Enterprise-scale delivery inside Barclays' reconciliation technology group: moving a live platform that reconciles 2M daily transactions off a licensed vendor system onto the in-house Reclite platform, without a single disrupted business day.

Problem & Insight

  • ·The reconciliation platform ran on Intellimatch, an external licensed dependency with rising cost and limited extensibility.
  • ·Match accuracy sat at 84%, pushing thousands of breaks per day into manual investigation.
  • ·Break ageing averaged 5 days, and release practices differed per module, making incidents frequent and hard to trace.

Solution & Process

  • ·Planned and delivered the migration across 3 phased releases, each with a reversible cutover path.
  • ·Owned a net-new reconciliation workflow end to end as sole module owner, from rules design to operational handover.
  • ·Standardised release runbooks and post-release verification so every module shipped the same way.

Results & Impact

  • Match accuracy from 84% to 97%
  • External licensing dependency fully eliminated
  • Manual effort down 15 hrs/week; break ageing from 5 days to under 24 hours
  • Deployment incidents down 40% across 4 modules using the standardised runbooks
