The current electronic ordering platform is responsible for over 80% of our sales volume and is comprised of proprietary (Interlink/Unilink) and traditional EDI (X12).  These interfaces, while mature and effective are utilized by a minority of our customer base and are challenging for our smaller dealers, and a growth inhibitor with our e-tailors.  As we expand into new customer channels and programs, more and more partners are requiring real time XML interfaces using open standards which are flexible and cost effective that can be leveraged across multiple suppliers and 3rd Party Software vendors.

The goal of this project is to establish an open, XML based, Order Management platform to drive growth into new channels, and increase efficiency with existing customers. It will establish an XML platform based on the OAGIS (www.openapplications.org) open XML standard leveraging a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for back office integration.

My Role in the project is as follows

·   Design and develop using  IBM Websphere Enterprise Service Bus,  Websphere Integration Developer 7.0 IBM WTX design Studio and DB2.

·   Responsible for the maintenance and expansion of our WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus Platform, including external B2B XML Ordering and a variety of internal integrationsSupport and maintain the web services in the Websphere environment.

·   Execute based on provided technical design and architecture for projects enabling new functionality, for enhancements extending current functionality, and for system updates related to capacity planning, stability, and performance improvements.

·   Interfaceing with an internal EDI team, various infrastructure teams (middleware, database administrators, etc.), architecture, and internal and external service consumers.

·   Integrating various backend system using WESB Web Service, SOAP (SOAP over HTTP / HTTPS).

·   Integrating various legacy backend system using CICS Transaction Gateway (CTG) adapter and JDBC adapter.

The Provider Screening Project is a very large project with a number of sub-projects.It is in response to CMS legislation calling for tighter controls over providers billing within the Medicare/Medicaid system. CMS issued broad sweeping regulations designed to reduce or eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse of the Medicare and Medicaid system.  These regulations call for enrolled providers to be screened to one of three levels of risk (Limited, Moderate and High) based on provider type and past risk histories.

Medicaid is a healthcare program that is funded by the US federal government and by individual states. It is operated by individual states. The portal developed in this Challenge will allow medical service providers to register themselves in their individual state for compensation from the Medicaid program. While this alone will provide a very welcome new procedure for providers, who must often fill out many paper forms today, the true goal of the portal will be to automatically screen potential providers for fraud risk before they are approved for Medicaid payments. The portal will assign a potential level of risk to each registrant, and will do this by applying a suite of dynamic business rules. Once a level of risk has been assigned, the registrant's application will be sent to the appropriate sub-system for additional screening and processing.

My Role in the project is as follows

·   Design and develop using Oracle, IBM Websphere Application Server, Websphere Process Server ,Websphere Enterprise Service Bus, Rational Application Developer, Websphere Integration Developer and IBM WTX design Studio.

·   Design and develop Java/J2EE enterprise applications SOAP web services, JMS, EJB, Spring and Hibernate.

·   Support and maintain the web services in the Websphere environment.

·   Perform Junit Testing, Functional testing, System and Performance testing using SOAP Client and Junit.

·   To ensure all of the system applications are configured correctly and the deployments are correctly done, and be responsible for the monitoring the entire implementation.

·   Working with the DHS programming staff to recommend changes per business requirements.

·   Downloading code updates from the federal repository (GitHub). Deploying code (EAR files) to the Websphere environment(s).

·   Identifying and recommending specific code changes to DHS staff and the federal repository.

·   Lead and perform software development maintenance (bug fixes) for the project change requests

·   Work with the Technical Architects and Leads to gain a comprehensive and up to date understanding of the software application developed

·   Ensure application codes are checked in the SVN repository with no coding errors

·   Working with the existing team on different project to provide the solution for WESB Mediation Modules.

The Performance Guarantee Program measures performance on a team level (divisional level for SHBP) based on their servicing of PG accounts.

Some large national accounts have Performance Guarantees (PG) and require monthly audits. PG requirements detail the measures and goals that we must obtain as defined by the account/client/group. They are individual to each client. The current process is time consuming and inefficient. There are several problems:

Dependent  on too many other business partners for samples generation

Multiple auditors required to upload samples timely into Lotus Notes

Auditors manually key data from multiple sources twice: into checklists and scorecards

Auditors access numerous systems to manually capture screen shots

Reporting is manual, time-consuming and limited in scope

The new BPM application intends to reduce the time and manual effort by streamlining the process by automating the random sample pull and auditor assignment streamlining the audit process and by creating real time customized reports.

My Role in the project is as follows

·   Develop the high-level infrastructure architecture utilizing WebSphere Process Server,Websphere Enterprise Service Bus Architecture.

·   Developing Sync and Async Mediation module which is called by the BPD process from process designer and send back the response retrieve from the long running BPEL process.

·   Designing the Interface (WSDL) which is reused by BPD process and Mediation module.

·   Providing the assistance on reusable service for different claim management system.

·   Developed the Mediation modules to process the different claim from different backend system and generate the PDF.

·   Calling a Long running BPEL process from Sync and Async Mediation module and pass back the response to BPD(Process Designer).

·   Sharing the Common Libraries between Process Designer and Integration Designer so that library is available between both process designer and Integration designer.

·   Converting the string to Business object and process through the mediation module for further transformation.

·   Involved in the preparation of Business Requirement document and translating the Busyness requirement document to technical requirement document.

·   Involved in all phase of SDLC and also in performance testing.

·   Participated in performance load testing of the Mediation module and BPEL process.

RAH Adaptor is an EAI tool that increase productivity and time to market new products by allowing the participants to share the diverse information they need to exchange across the lifecycle, this sits between two enterprise systems and connects the systems via IBM MQ Series.

Rapid Adaptable Hub shares diverse types of product knowledge via automated processes that streamline crucial stages of the product lifecycle via interface to the Team center. It supports asynchronous communication via Message Queues and intelligent processing of MQ request/response with priority, exception handling of incomplete transaction.

It has two kinds of participants namely Corporate and Supplier. The scenario envisioned like there is a “Corporate” which is a manufacturing entity which needs components and specifications from “Supplier” which supplies components to the Corporate. RAH Adaptor is the program that sits on Supplier side and facilitate information between corporate and supplier. . RAH Adaptor accompanied by a test program “Corporate” to test the functionality of RAH Adaptor.

        The project includes three kinds of transactions such as Create, Update and Revise Request in Supplier for Part, Specification Document and Data Item. In corporate system handles ReadDocumentLinkMetaData and GetFileContent transactions. Supplier sends a request with details specific to the business item and the corporate receives the request from corresponding request queue and response is sent back to the supplier via MQ Series. My role is as follows

·                        Member of development team responsible for development of Rapid Adaptable Hub using IBM MQ Series.
