Hogan RPM Migration Expert / SME || Charlotte – NC, Texas, Chicago – IL, Phoenix – AZ

Job Description: Hogan RPM Migration Expert / SME

Role: Hogan RPM Migration Expert / Senior SME

Experience: 10+ years overall; ideally 5+ years working directly with Hogan and significant experience with RPM or comparable Hogan pricing/profitability capabilities

Domain: Banking / Wholesale Banking / Payments / Mainframe Modernization

Location: Charlotte, Texas, Chicago, Phoenix

 

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Hogan RPM Migration Expert to lead the discovery, assessment, and migration planning for a large financial institution transitioning from its existing Hogan RPM environment to a modern internally developed platform.

The immediate need is not simply a code conversion or lift-and-shift. The expert will help understand the current RPM implementation, uncover embedded business logic and rules, identify integrations and dependencies, and translate that knowledge into a practical modernization strategy and migration runbook.

This aligns directly with the current requirement discussed in analyze the legacy RPM solution, understand business logic, map dependencies and data flows, extract requirements, define modernization boundaries, and create sequence diagrams, documentation, and a migration runbook. 

Key Responsibilities

1. Hogan RPM Discovery & Assessment

• Perform detailed assessment of the existing Hogan RPM implementation.
• Understand RPM capabilities, configurations, customizations, workflows, pricing logic, relationship structures, and business rules.
• Identify functionality that should be retained, redesigned, consolidated, or retired.
• Work with product owners, Hogan SMEs, business teams, and application teams to validate discovered functionality.
• Translate legacy implementation details into understandable functional and technical documentation.

The current program expects technical discovery to be augmented by SME and product-owner validation because tooling alone may not uncover the underlying business logic. 

2. Legacy Technical Analysis

• Analyze legacy programs, jobs, files, databases, screens, interfaces, and batch/online processing.
• Assess RPM interactions with VSAM, DB2, files, databases, and downstream applications.
• Trace inbound and outbound data movement.
• Identify upstream/downstream dependencies and integration touchpoints.
• Develop current-state architecture, system-flow, data-flow, and sequence diagrams. [Meeting wi…Discussion | Outlook]

3. Business Rules & Requirements Extraction

• Reverse-engineer embedded RPM functionality and business rules.
• Document pricing, profitability, billing, ECR, relationship, and supporting rules relevant to the implementation.
• Map business capabilities and rules to underlying programs, data structures, interfaces, and processes.
• Facilitate SME workshops to fill gaps that cannot be derived through technical analysis.
• Produce traceability from legacy capabilities to target-state requirements.

4. Migration Strategy & Runbook

• Define a practical strategy for moving capabilities away from Hogan RPM.
• Evaluate migration approaches including phased replatforming, coexistence, strangler patterns, and capability-by-capability migration.
• Create detailed migration waves and sequencing.
• Define data migration, reconciliation, validation, testing, cutover, and rollback approaches.
• Identify cross-system dependencies and migration risks.
• Develop a comprehensive Hogan RPM Migration Runbook.

The ongoing request specifically calls for migration phases, sequencing, testing, reconciliation, cutover/rollback planning, timelines, risks, required expertise, and client inputs. 5. Target-State Modernization

• Collaborate with architects to define target-state functional and technical boundaries.
• Determine how existing RPM capabilities should map into the modern platform.
• Recommend modernization patterns that minimize operational and migration risk.
• Design an incremental transition that allows legacy and modern capabilities to coexist where necessary.
• Help define API and integration approaches between legacy and target environments.

This is particularly important because the current initiative is described internally as an application rewrite/replatforming, rather than simply moving the existing codebase unchanged.

DXC publicly describes Hogan as supporting integration with modern applications and RESTful APIs, reinforcing the importance of API/integration expertise in a Hogan modernization role. 

Required Skills

Must Have

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Hogan Banking Platform.
• Deep functional and technical understanding of Hogan RPM / Relationship Pricing Manager, or directly comparable Hogan pricing/profitability implementations.
• Experience with legacy banking application modernization/replatforming.
• Strong knowledge of mainframe/legacy environments and technologies such as:
  • COBOL
  • DB2
  • VSAM
  • Batch processing
  • Legacy interfaces and file processing
• Strong understanding of banking data and complex business-rule processing.
• Experience performing legacy-system discovery and reverse engineering.
• Experience mapping application interfaces and data dependencies.
• Ability to develop system-flow, data-flow, architecture, and sequence diagrams.
• Experience defining phased migration strategies and detailed migration runbooks.
• Strong stakeholder-management and SME-interview skills.

Hogan is a major core banking platform used for high-volume banking workloads; DXC currently describes it as supporting more than 300 million deposit accounts across over 40 financial institutions. 

Preferred Skills

• Experience migrating off Hogan RPM or replatforming Hogan capabilities onto modern architectures.
• Wholesale Banking experience.
• Relationship pricing / profitability management experience.
• Experience with billing and ECR-related capabilities.
• Payments domain expertise.
• Experience with Java, APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, or cloud-native platforms.
• Experience with automated legacy discovery or reverse-engineering tools.
• Knowledge of Hogan adjacent systems such as IDS.
• Experience executing large, multi-year banking modernization programs.
