Recap We went Live - Anglo Irish Bank - End of May 2006

Oh !!! Finally it happened... We went live on our full banking system T24 rollout for Anglo Irish bank's London branch. It was a long struggle..have been working on this since Aug 2004 ...

Our team is fentastic bunch of hard working , cheerful and playful blokes of diff nationalities(Irish,british,Polish,Indian,Estonian,Nigerian,Russian,Kiwi) with diff cultural backgrnds.. Everyone in the bank were happy ...

Eventhough we went live everyone was having one thing in mind..system cld break anytime...everyone were surprised that nothing untoward happened..One of the best rollouts i have ever seen.

Here is the testimonial mail from Proj Manager
""Team,
After many versions, routines, late nights, just under 6000 issues, not to mention a few interesting challenges we are now live!!!!!! I just wanted to thank everyone for there hard work and dedication to getting us live, not just over the last weekend but over the last few years. It was great to see everyone working as a team together (8 Different Nationalities!) and helping each other out to ensure we got to the position we are in today.

Note, I will mostly be working full-time this week on the important task of organising some celebratory drinks in the near future....
Cheers
