What SD3 did:

Using a formal project management discipline, object-oriented analysis and design techniques, Rational Rose software and Java, SD3 designed, developed and implemented Web and IVR access to the Oracle-based annuity administration system.

SD3’s steps included:

• Developing a project charter and plan, gathering high-level requirements and developing detailed use-cases
• Establishing the system architectural vision including an N-Tier software architecture, hardware architecture, network architecture, data access and communication protocols
• Determining supporting technologies including Java Web server, Java Server Pages and Servlets, Oracle, XML, and Rational Rose
• Using object-oriented design techniques and UML notation to model the class and sequence diagrams in Rational Rose
• Generating Java code from the modeling tool and developing class method implementations in Java and JSP

The outcome:

The project was completed on plan and within budget. The architecture was easily extensible reducing the costs for maintenance and enhancements. The system achieved all the objectives and the client is already realizing a return on their investment.
