Project - CAS High Availability .( Jan'10 - Present)

Description: The Customer Approval System (CAS) is a real-time credit

decisioning and subscription fraud processing system available 23.5/7. The

hardware that hosts CAS mandated with monthly 4 hour maintenance and tow

yearly 8 hour maintenance. During this time CAS is not available. CAS

functionality is failed-over to another application by the name 4Score. It

has striped won features of CAS. 4Score is slated for retirement (sunset)

by the middle of 2010. the AT&T management directive that calls for a High

Availability CAS Solution that must provide near-uninterrupted

functionality (24/7) in the absence of 4Score. Responsible for Analysis,

Project - Account Level Reclass. (June '09 - Dec '09)

Description: This process was performed by Equifax; that existed process

will be replaced by this new process being developed to run within AT&T.

The solution for this project within the CAS application system, is the

development of a new batch process to perform the reclass function. This

process will run daily on the mainframe system that supports the CAS

application, and will utilize Strata 4.1 batch engine to execute the

business rules to perform the reclass function. A file will be sent from

eCDW to CAS daily via NDM, to contain a record for each account that was

triggered for Reclass. Reclassed file is sent back to the ECDW daily by

NDM. Project was implemented in Production. Responsible for Analysis,
