. Roth IRA
. Traditional IRA
. Inherited IRA
. Inherited Roth IRA
. SIMPLE IRA
. SEP IRA
.

Offered to clients are a pretty standard range of options for the
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)
IMS2DB2
Porject Description:- Replacing IMS database with DB2 database.
Environment:- Mainframe (COBOL, IMS, DB2, JCL, CICS)
Project Duration:- 12 Months
Team size:- 25 (Including HO Team members)
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.
Environment:- Mainframe (COBOL, CICS, JCL, IMS, DB2)

Rate Entry Automation
Porject Description:- End to end process designed and developed for rate
entry for each annuity products. Prior to this rates are entered manually
in the system forthightly, which needs lots of data entry as well as review
efforts.
Environment:- Mainframe (COBOL, CICS, JCL, IMS, DB2)
Project Duration:- 5 Months
Team size:- 8 (Including HO Team members)
