part of the implementation phase, NFISG was required to convert the
data from the Infolease system to the Success system. This
required parallel operations of both systems to ensure that the
data had been properly converted and that all aspects of the new
system were working in accordance with the users' needs. After
production began, NFISG sought to improve the response time of the
minicomputers in retrieving information.
Ultimately, the Success system improved speed and efficiency
in the month-end processing, reducing the processing time from 3 or
more days to overnight.
The Success system was leased out to other leasing companies
affiliated with Norwest Corporation.
D. General Ledger
The General Ledger (G/L) system was an integrated collection
of software applications designed to support and maintain Norwest's
general ledger accounts and to produce balance sheets, income
statements, and other similar reports for Norwest. Approximately
five NTS persons were assigned to work on the G/L system.
During the years in issue, the corporate controllers who used
the G/L system annually met with NTS personnel to discuss their
business goals. The primary purpose of these meetings was to
discuss ways to improve the source code in order to expedite the
month-end closing of the corporate books.
