Business Case
As part of the Client’s strategic plan, approval was given to replace the entire benefits administration system. The key driver for the replacement was the technology of the legacy systems and the ability to maintain, support, and enhance the applications to increase competitiveness and continue to meet the growing needs of the business. The following functional areas were in scope for system replacement:
- Benefit Plan System (including Group and Individual Products)
- Sales System
- Enrollment System
- Financial System
- Party Registry
- Rules Registry
Business Solution
The first phase of the program was to develop enterprise architecture and standards used as a baseline for all projects to follow. The technology selected is Oracle’s ADF/JDeveloper/JAVA tools with Oracle RDMS. Components of the solutions are web-based portals to allow underwriters to define new benefit plans, sales staff to sell the plans, administrators to enroll and bill clients.
