About us

BSCE Ltd. started as an IT consulting company providing business intelligence solutions, custom application development and system integration, our portfolio has been expanded over the years with innovative technologies and products, and the range of services has broadened.

The focus of BSCE’s activities is to deliver solutions and applications that are easy to use for our customers. To do this, we cover the entire business analysis and development process, from consultancy to architecture and development. The implementation and management of projects is carried out by our colleagues trained on numerous successful implementation projects. We also perform custom application development based on J2EE (WebSphere, WebLogic, JBOSS) and .NET. On the business intelligence side, we can implement major systems on all major platforms currently in use (AS400, Oracle, SAS, Teradata, Microsoft, etc.).

The successful implementation of our projects is guaranteed by the choice of technologies, with the fact that we only work with experienced professionals and partners. Our clients want a secure implementation and to establish best available practices, which we can provide with our expert background.

From the start, we have focused on understanding our clients’ business problems and using this knowledge to propose a way forward.

Services

We deliver IT solutions for business needs starting from collecting andspecification of business demands through functional and technicalspecification until development, testing implementation and operationalsupport. Customized applications are developed on java J2EE (WebSphere,WebLogic, JBOSS) and .NET platforms.

Our experts have great experience in every world-wide BI tool (Oracle,Teradata, SAS, IBM Cognos, SAP BW and Business Objects, Microsoft)andwe are able to develop datawarehouse and utilization solutions customizedto the clients’ environment and needs.

The biggest team of our company is the process and system organizer team. Their work is one of the most important ones providing information to business departments about the technology-based IT opportunities, helping to define and translate business demands into the necessary IT definitions (system plan, specification, architecture). Our experts often call the attention to the possible deficiencies and inconsistencies of specification even in the first demand-specification phase thus –eliminating the unnecessary iterations- we could decrease the development and testing lead-time and resource requirements.

Testing
Testing is a misjudged pillar of the successful developments and product launches, although it is a well-known fact that correcting errors in ‘sharp’ environment are more expensive and they can lead to significant direct and indirect business losses. Testing by the supplier or developer is part of the implementation process, although the user (UAT) and operational (PET)testing and their process implementation require temporarily significant extra efforts and resources from the company which we can significantly decrease via outsourcing.

During testing the following tasks are executed at different levels:

  • Testing strategy or concept development (scope, processes, prerequisites, risks, success criteria, etc.)
  • Planning of test phases(developer’s functional, UAT, international, performance, operational, etc.)
  • Testing scenarios (environment, process, parameters, test cases)
  • Development and management of testing environments(installation, test run, data Synchron, release management, administration)
  • Test management (dependencies, test data, results, proceedings, error list, recursion, quality management)
  • Test-run
  • Evaluation, methodology and development proposals

The key success criteria of project-based implementation are the appropriate personality of the project manager and the right project management methodology. We believe that a project manager can be effective and credible if he owns professional excellence of the given project.

The project manager’s tasks are:

  • Creation of the project organization (PIB, sponsors, working teams)
  • Project planning and startup (detailed project plan, PID, kick-off)
  • Operative project management (communication, coordination,problem solving, escalation)
  • Weekly project status (report and meeting)
  • Risk management, change management (CR)
  • Delivery-acceptance process, closing, archivingProposals for methodology and development

From 2021, all stock listed companies in the EU regulated markets must produce their annual electronic accounts for ESMA in Inline XBRL format instead of the usual PDF format.

Reports in this format can be opened in any browser as well as instantly reviewed and summarized using auto-tagging.

In close collaboration with T-Systems and Amana, our company offers a modern solution for adapting to the new IFRS regulations. Amana’s stand-alone XBLR tagging software, combining the IFRS and the XBLR expertise can identify any kind of document and data format, thus the summarized financial statement numbers become available with just a few clicks, even in a ready-to-print format.

The HITREG report must, according to MNB’s 35/2018. (XI. 13.) and its 46/2020. (XI. 20.) regulations, provide an integrated, structured monthly report for credit unions and certain financial institutions about their loans in accordance with predetermined rules.

Currently running HITREG reports that are already live for banks prove that BSCE’s own comprehensive solution, along with  the expertise of our specialists and developers guarantee the successful fulfilment of HITREG reports for financial institutions.

During the implementation of HITREG, we will:

  • execute the necessary GAP analysis
  • apply the most appropriate technology and architecture, be it a local data warehouse or a cloud data market
  • reconcile the source data of the data retrieval service with other reports provided to the MNB, as well as data reported in KHR,
  • during the specification of the data model develop the data market required for HITREG, regardless of the source system
  • perform the required transformations and code dictionary mapping on the data market
  • prepare the HITREG reports in the right format and values
  • validate the rules and correlations in compliance with the current MNB rules with our own inspection tool, to ensure the immaculate supply of data, and for the data retrieval service the option of constant in-house inspection
  • ensure the possibility of incidental manual corrections, re-executions
  • export the complete HITREG report to the required format, which is transmittable to the MNB

During and after the implementation we ensure the continuous successful data sending with professional advice, legislation follow and support.

Mapdoc

The targeted goal of the MapDoc data lineage tool is the analysis and documentation of the essential data loading procedures for the operation of companies.
It maps the tables, the connections among tables and the related expressions, the program steps by analysing the source codes. It can store the result in an integrated structure and present it in a graphic format. With the help of MapDoc each data element can be followed through the whole loading procedure and the handling of each element can be tracked in the process. The MapDoc therefore documents the following:
– data loadings, their sources and targets
– data transformations
– connections and links among tables
Thanks to the graphical user inter face (GUI) the whole data loading procedure can quickly be analysed.

Technologies

Development of EAI is completed within an integration framework, which is a collection of technologies and services forming a ‘middleware’ thatenables integration of systems and applications across the enterprise.

Industry-specific targets (banking, telecom, production base software) typically operate as separate information islands, that are unable to collaborate and share data and business regulations. Furthermore, therare systems that were built between or above other systems. Examples are CRM systems (future customers management, in addition to currentclients), the BI tools (integrating information and analyzing operational data) and other systems (typically HR, internal communication, intranet etc.) Isolation of these systems (information silos), leads to problems which impair the efficiency of business processes (multisite data storage,process management in several systems). One of the greatest challenges of EAI is to integrate systems that are based, often on different operating systems, different database managers, or written in different programming languages, that contain redundant technologies, or are based on undocumented unique solutions.
