Siemens developed software and hardware for trials with UK Government case working (e.g. port authority tracking). The system allowed for the capture, evaluation and monitoring of information prior to re-distributing documents, together with the case outcome, automatically to the person or organisation involved.

Part of these trials required evidence to be made available, to senior Government officials, showing that the operational performance of the system was satisfactory. PARIS conducted these performance trials, using Mercury Interactive's performance monitoring tools, at the request of Siemens Business Systems.

The strategy and testing undertaken was independently audited by Magic Performance PLC who reported "The overall approach and execution of the testing by Siemens Business Services is very strong. This has been reinforced by the fact that they have already found and fixed problems highlighted by the performance testing". Test management added "I have been very impressed with your (PARIS's) high degree of professionalism, dedication and ability". PARIS has "played a very important role in the success of the test team".

PARIS calibrated the system for performance and identified, the maximum and concurrent limits within Oracle and Tuxedo, inefficient SQL coding and the optimum Tuxedo server tuning for case work transaction throughput.
