Project DescriptionSelf-Summary

Project Name: Catastrophic Analysis Risk Browser

Client: Continental and Nationality Insurance

Firm: Tata Consultancy Services

Department: Underwriting Author: Dinesh Vaithyalingam Gangatharan

Project Overview

Project Description

Introduction of Catastrophic analysis [Cat Analysis] to the in-house Underwriting application.The existing underwriting application does not have the ability to analyze the Risk ofCatastrophic events.

We established the new protocol in the application for it to analyze the risk that could becaused by Catastrophic events[Earthquake, Hurricane]

Introduction of 8 new JSP web-pages with each one of them having their ownfunctionality for Cat Analysis

Introduction of service to obtain the longitude and latitude through a synchronous web-service before risk calculation

Updating to be done in the existing policy details on obtaining the location details. Creation of a Data model where

Cat Analysis covers the entire policy Multiple Cat Analysis can be done for every building, location or the policy as a

whole New analysis can be done by taking the inputs from the existing analysis

Automate the whole process of Cat Analysis to have benchmark analysis where theunderwriters can compare with their calculated values.

Create an asynchronous web-service to do Cat Analysis and update the database.

Technical Details of the Project

Framework : Bridge MVC Tools : IBM RAD, Polytron Version Control System, Cruise control, Oracle SQL

Developer

Server : IBM Websphere 1.6 Languages : Java, Javascript, JSP, Servlet, Ajax, Oracle Toplink

Web pages created using JSP . Every web-page was modelled using CSS Styles andcontrolled using Javascript methods.

Application created using Java 1.4 as the existing application worked on that Database schema created in Oracle 10G . Separate schema was used for developers

testing Synchronous web-service created to communicate with another Java application which

had the location details based on the policy information Asynchronous web-service created to communicate with a Dot-net based application

which has the algorithms in it to calculate building level catastrophic details. We createdXML based web-service to do Cat analysis.

Automation initiated by a shell script which would mail the developers if there was aproblem with any of the policies being automated. Automation runs every month withwhen monthly policy details are being updated in the database schema. Automationresults will be the benchmark.

My tasks in the Project

I joined this project as a Trainee. Since this projected lasted for one whole year I wasexposed to all the functionalities in the project. On the successful completion of the project Isupported it for two months.

Created 4 of the web-pages. Pages were Analysis creation as a new one and based on the old one Final results screen which showed all the calculated values The one which allowed the used to select to which building what

analysis they wanted to do. Admin page that inputs the values for benchmark calculations

Created the automation process and the script to run as a monthly batch job Updating the asynchronous web-service when new details were being added to them as

change requests [CR]. DDL and DML creation during the phase of Data modelling On knowing the whole application and the code, switch through every screen to fix the

code during the testing phase.

Primary Goals

Business Goals of the Project

CNA which did not do catastrophic analysis was able to include this. This allowed it toexpand the existing policies and obtain new policies and it worked on the businessgrowth.

What I learnt from this Project?

As I was a trainee on this project, the business process was particularly new to me.

Javascript and CSS styles being used on JSP web-pages Business level Java coding with industry standards Shell scripting and process automation Java web services.
