PROJECT EBL SUMMIT |
 'EBL SUMMIT' is the name given to EBL's ambitious project for replacing 'Pumori Plus' software by finacle. Finacle has been developed by Infosys Technologies Limited, India. The old software 'Pumori Plus' was made by Mercantile Office Systems, Nepal.
Changing and implementing new software poses many hurdles and challenges to be overcome and so it is with project 'EBL SUMMIT'. To make the transition from 'Pumori Plus' to 'EBL SUMMIT' smooth, a core team consisting of 9 people has been formed, with representation from respective domains.

| 'EBL SUMMIT' Genesis |
The birth of 'EBL SUMMIT' was at Hotel Gyangjung, Kathmandu, (8th June 2007). The name was coined after a brainstorming session held to determine the name for the new project. Mr. Pramod Raj Sharma, company secretary, came up this name which was finalized among all the other names that were suggested by other participants.
Following team from 'Nurture Software Solutions P. Ltd', Bangalore, India (implementation partner of M/s Infosys), has arrived for implementation of the project:
- Sinoj Ambujackson (Project Manager)
- Pankaj Kumar (Team Member)
- Nitesh Agarwal (Team Member)
- Rathish Raghavan (Team Member)
- Sujoy Das (Team Member)
- Biswajit Shah (Team Member)
Currently, Data mapping is in process to develop Data Migration tool from Pumori to Finacle.

The process was initiated with installation of Solaris 9 on one Sun SPARC server at NepaSoft premises at Gairidhara, Kathmandu, the interim venue- where initial customization & training activities are taking place. Once the Operating System (OS) was installed with all the correct parameters and partitions, the next step was to install Oracle on the giant server. But the installation of Oracle was stalled until the arrival of the Nurture team and once they were ready the installation went underway. Oracle 9i was the choice version and working in a UNIX environment, the team successfully installed Oracle after a few hours. After Oracle it was the turn of RESIN installation and ONS installation. After all installations were complete, the Apache server, bundled along with Oracle, was configured and started. But the main installation had yet to come, the installation of Finacle itself. After a few grueling hours, the work was completed and it was time to test from a web browser. After un-checking the default JVM from Internet Explorer (IE) and selecting Microsoft JVM and giving full permissions to scripts, applets & COM objects and putting the Finacle site in the 'trusted sites' list, the team was ready to finally run Finacle for the first time.
DATA CENTRE set up is also in full swing at 1st floor of HO Building at Lazimpat, where centralized high-capacity servers will be kept, that are expected to arrive in August’2007.
We shall keep this page updated on a regular basis. Till then ….. |
