Alan was VP, Retail Banking Systems, Integration and Testing Architecture, at Manufacturers Hanover Trust (now part of JP Morgan Chase) where he led the merger of the Retail Banking Systems of MHT and Chemical Bank and subsequently, Chemical Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank. To accomplish these large bank mergers, Alan invented a new and innovative technique for testing and migrating large systems. These techniques were used to facilitate the bank mergers. These techniques subsequently enabled the migration of a complete mainframe environment from New York to Delaware in 22 minutes. This methodology, which enables data center migrations and consolidations with little or no impact on production can be deployed at your company.
