Solution Architecture Report - IRDA

Solution Architecture Document - IRDA Business Analytics ProjectServiceDesign/IntegrationServicesDescriptionServices Design and Maintenance PlatformComprises of an integrated development environment providing aninterface to maintain services based on the relevant developmentframework. The interface will be used to modify and manage the changesin the services description and definition. A typical environment wouldalso contain workflow and rules management engine to provide theability to design configurable services.Data IntegrationData will be resident in multiple repositories of the platform. Some of thedata assets might also reside outside the platform in the database ofspecific application provider e.g. agency portal system. A concerted datamanagement strategy will need to be designed. Typical on and offlinedata integration model should be considered as part of the overalltechnology solution stack.Data StoresOverall application layer will have multiple data stores in two differentvariationsa) Data Stores within the IRDA controlled environment: IRDA willhave complete control and direct access to the data beinglogged/created out of proprietary applications.b) Data Store in Application Providers Environment: Data will bemanaged by the respective environment owner. While the exactneed and a mechanism to pull out this information will bedetermined during solutioning, there is a currently envisagedneed to integrate this data in an online mode.Each application is envisaged to have a dedicated operational data store.From here, an integrated data store providing a 360 degree view ofcustomer and sales information is envisaged as part of this architecture.This data store is expected to receive synchronized and asynchronousfeeds from multiple services and applications through an integratedinformation hub described in the application architecture section.Business Analytics Project Page 29
