Project - Producer Incentive and Compensation (PIC)

The Producer Incentive and Compensation (PIC) is a modernization initiative by FBL to enhance the current business processes for producer management. The current process is handled by a COBOL-based legacy system, Agent Interface (AGTI), which needs a tangible enhancement to overcome the process bottlenecks. PIC system is a vision to automate majority of the current processes and thereby develop a user-friendly interfaceFBL’s PIC consists of six modules - Producer Management Module, Client Account, Contract Management, Accounting & Payroll, Compensation and Contests & Recognition.

The project purpose is to understand and modernize the pending functions of the PIC System. This essentially includes the processing of Compensations, capturing of Contest & Recognition (CR) and completing the pending Accounting and payroll work, which is directly related to the Compensation and CR

Role as Team Lead – May ‘08-Sept ‘08

Responsibilities:

• Design and Development of batch process framework using Spring-batch. Spring Batch was a relatively very new framework and had to be uniquely customized for PIC solution. It is not common to use Java as a platform for mathematically complex batch processes and re-engineering existing COBOL on Mainframe based batch system.

• Detailed Analysis, Design and Development Lead for complex Batch Validation processes that premium transactions undergo. These include complex business processes/validations like determining payable party, license validation, medical certification and registration validation.

The Contest framework is focused on empowering the Sales and Marketing servicing team to be able to independently define a new Contest, Sub Contest, Campaign etc. For each Contest, eligibility can be further qualified by Producer Roles, Product Group, State and many such Contest specific rules. All Sub-Contests within a Contest can be further broken down by Contest Measures, Eligibility, and Qualifying Criteria. The development also included implementing the complete Contest work flow via Contest life cycle.

• Identifying and mitigating risks for application development.

• Organize delivery to on-site and coordinate with onsite team on a daily basis

• Identify problems, initiate and implement corrective and preventive actions

Contribution:

• Design and Development Java based Query Rules engine. This tool provides the ability to configure query/search criteria details in an XML so that it can be used to fetch the data internally using Hibernate.

Infosys Technologies Ltd, Chennai/Mysore

Software Engineer (August’2003 – February’2005)

Project - Assembly Tracking & Management System (BOEING - IDS)

ATMS is used by IDS as a shop-floor application to track and manage assembly activity for military airplanes. The system was commissioned in 1983 on a Unisys 2200 mainframe based Mapper platform right after implementation of Portable Perishable Tool System (‘PPTS’) on same technology. Initially the system was small but grew in size after the application was split for commercial and military airplanes and significant customizations that were done over the years to cater to unique factory floor processes for military airplanes.The system was serving the business well over the years but has lately been put at risk due to discontinued support from product vendors, specifically Unisys. The application was migrated to Mapper-C on Sequent NUMA-Q server in year 2000 resulting in significant maintenance cost savings; however Unisys has since dropped support of Mapper-C on Unix platform, thus creating a critical need for another migration for this mission critical system.
