These applications receive data from upstream systems like underwriting systems and claims systems and processes the data to submit various compliance and state mandated statistical reports. The finance system comprises of many applications like Reinsurance, RDW, CFLI, ISO, SIRA, CSP, PSP, AIP, ALR & CSC. Each application will interact with others and performs different functions. The objective of this project is to add enhancements to the statistical reporting applications. For each enhancement request, a detailed impact analysis will be done. The issues and clarifications will be discussed with team members. Once the requirement is clear, the other SDLC phases like design, coding, unit testing and review will be performed. The project also involves fixing any defects arising during enhancements, and responding to the questions from various business or IT partners related to the reporting Applications. The tested enhancements will be moved to production during monthly releases. All the enhancements are documented as per Cognizant’s as well as Liberty Mutual’s standards. The reporting applications are running on IBM OS-390. The DMV reporting system is a complex and major one which has one module for each reporting state. This system has CICS online screens which are used to use correct the errors on the records that we submitted to the DMVs.
