. Traditional IRA

. Inherited IRA

. Inherited Roth IRA

. SIMPLE IRA

. SEP IRA

industry; including but not limited to Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs,

Inherited IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and SEP IRAs

Environment:- Mainframe (COBOL, CICS, JCL, DB2)

Project Duration:- Ongoing Project.

Team size:- 20 (Onshore + Offshore development Team)

Program Sunrise

Project Description:- Currently Bank of Canada is maintaining customer's

details in different database for each product (e.g. Loan, Credit Card,

Bank account holder). So, even though one customer has more than one

product from bank, bank is maintaining customer's detail in more than one

place and treating them as different customers instead of one. With project

sunrise bank want to maintain customer's detail at only one place instead

of maintaining them in several other places and want to treat customer as

one customer for more than one product.

Also bank wants to implement BASEL III rules for credit rating.

Environment:- Mainframe (COBOL, CICS, JCL, DB2)

Project Duration:- 2 Years.

Team size:- 50 (in Offshore development Team)

DOC1 to Dialogue Execution - Correspondances

Porject Description:- DOC1 is the document composition tool PFG currently

use to produce quarterly, annual, periodic and SIMPLE variable annuity

statements (FRDM, FRDM2, FVA, and VA2004).

Risks associated with continuing to use DOC1.

. Reduced enterprise support for DOC1 as business units stop using it.

. Lack of new features and enhancements for the current version of DOC1

that PFG use.

. Potential endo fo life of the current version of DOC1 that PFG use.

Due to the risks noted above, it is in Annuities best interest to migrate

outputs off of DOC1 to a different tool.

Dialogue is the enterprise's "invest" tool for document composition. It

offers many benefits.

. Easier maintenance

. Reduced development time

. Ability for development to be completed by Annuity IT developers (and

reducing dependency on Life IT for support).

Since Dialogue is the preferred document composition tool, Annuities need

to incrementally move outputs to it. The variable annuity statements are

annuities highest volume output and also most active, requiring changes

with most retail annity product projects. To mitigate the risks noted

above, it is necessary to move this output from DOC1 t Dialoge. As a part

of migration taking advantage of the opportunity to make some minor chgnes

to the statement content wording, format, and selection order.
