Projects

Cognizant Technology Solutions, Anthem Inc.

Government Services for Provider Interface (GPI): Involved in the complex and time-consuming process of handling provider inbound data from multiple systems.

Member Care Workstation (MCW):Contributed to a critical application used by Anthem's customer service representatives to access crucial member and provider information.

e-biz WebApps legacy CRM MSM: Worked on legacy applications, including a small group renewal application, which required intricate data processing and PDF generation.

IBM:

GPS Rewrite:

Rewriting the existing GPS Application from Vantive into Java Application using Eclise RCP and WebService.

Staging Automation:

This automation project aims to streamline the asset transfer process between systems and warehouses. By automating this process, we can improve equipment tracking accuracy and financial asset management. This includes tracking equipment used outside of GPS and LPP-CPE for MIS+, Managed Firewall, BIB, and AVTS. The project will coordinate equipment movement between staging centers and update inventory databases in LPP-CPE/GPS and GCP.

CPE Resale:

This project aims to consolidate legacy CPE applications and systems into a unified delivery architecture. By converging these disparate systems, we can streamline operations, reduce costs, and establish standardized end-to-end business processes. The new architecture will need to accommodate legacy AT&T, SBC, and BLS systems and tools, and support key processes like quoting, ordering, provisioning, ticketing, dispatch, billing, and more. It will also need to cater to primary CPE product lines such as Voice, Data, eRate, and Government services.

MSS-GPS Enhancements:

GPS needs to automate several processes associated with data entry into GPS as well as improve the exchange of data and data replication between the MSS Integration Server (MSSIS) and the MSS Tools Application (MSSTP).
