What is the LPS system?

From the enterprise documentation:
LPS is the system of record for managing Shell's US lease purchases, handling commercial, contractual, and financial aspects of leased supply
What LPS actually does (business-wise)
LPS supports high-value, high-volume commercial activity, including:
Deal and contract entry for lease-based purchases
Contract generation and maintenance
Pricing and run-ticket processing
Division-of-interest (DOI) master data management
Payments and reporting, including 1099 tax reporting
SOX-critical controls around contract and payment data
LPS is:
A large IBM mainframe application (z/OS)
Written mainly in COBOL/TELON, with DB2 and VSAM
~5 million lines of code
Integrated with Endur, MCC, and other downstream systems
