Project Brief
A mortgage servicing platform faced a serious data-processing bottleneck. Overnight data loading took approximately 11 hours, while mainframe-to-SQL Server updates at a major client were finishing on time only 10% of the time.
Elaine was initially brought in as a contractor for database tuning. Following the success of that work, she joined the organization and continued overseeing database upgrades, migration, process improvements and rollout planning.

The Challenge
An 11-hour overnight data-loading process created a narrow operating window, while critical data updates were meeting their deadline only 10% of the time.
The Solution
Elaine performed database tuning, oversaw a database upgrade and migration to new hardware and managed changes to the data-loading process. She coordinated requirements, testing and sign-off while also planning implementation across additional clients.
The Outcome
11 Hours → 2 Hours
Overnight data loading dropped from 11 hours to approximately two.
10% → 95%
On-time data updates increased from just 10% to 95%.
Business Impact
The project dramatically improved the speed and reliability of a critical data-processing workflow, giving the organization substantially more dependable overnight processing.
