The Challenge:
To quickly build an on-line application for applying for AARP insurance. Product also had to conform to the many rules that were defined by the age, sex, state of residence, and product for which they wished to apply. Daily team status updates/milestone meetings would need to be held in order to ensure that the developing product met the strict rules of the industry and that the technology group at N.Y.L. would fully understand the system before the completed product was turned over to them upon completion.

Our Solution:
Designed and developed an on-line life insurance enrollment form. The enrollment form is utilizes a “wizard” format in order to break down information into logical/understandable chunks. Database access and processing is provided through VB6 COM objects. Front end validation and field sizing, for browser differences provided by JavaScript. Enrollment information that was entered by the user is sent to the COM object where it completes HTML templates with the data based on the product that was selected. Once the template was complete, the template is encrypted using PGP, then sent to the N.Y.L. administrator for processing. The HTML templates had to resemble, almost exactly, to the hard-copy version, so different templates were developed for IE and Netscape because of STYLE interpretations.

Program follows several rules set forth by the insurance industry which is all controlled and implemented from within the COM objects. All coding is heavily documented to conform to very stringent standards to assist in the knowledge transfer for turning over the code to New York Life.

The Challenge:
Implement a flexible enterprise wide PeopleSoft HRMS application for use by a large multi-company food and chemical industry conglomerate. The application must be flexible enough to support the needs of over 25 individual companies while providing a centralized standard for the parent company.

Our Solution:
A phased implementation with a standard functionality to support the parent company requirements. During each phase, new functionality will be added for the individual companies. This is an ongoing project at this time but will eventually support over 85,000 employees.
