Problematic
Groupama’s customer data repository is built on the Sigma software package. However, several major issues are not covered by this software package. Access to the data is via a mainframe console type interface. Business processes are not managed automatically.
Exchanges between Groupama’s various applications are not centralised. Several applications have therefore been developed to meet these needs.
Mission statement
Integrate as technical architect the Logica team responsible for the development of :
- the creation of a configurable business process management engine (Workflow) based on BEA/ Weblogic Integration. Implementation of the first process: the management of a disaster.
- the implementation of an EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) centralising the exchanges of the various Groupama applications based on BEA/Weblogic Integration.
- the WEB application providing an ergonomic interface to the most used data: client, contracts, agenda.
Tasks performed during the mission:
- J2EE technical expert
- Prototyping and feasibility study of the future Workflow and EAI solution,
