Parijat@SUN: Work hard but think smart

This is the other work I am doing at SUN. SWIFT OTDs and eWays provide financial solutions to banks for funds transfer information. Here is a publicly available summary.

The Sun JavaTM Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS) has been awarded the SWIFTReady Financial EAI Gold label by SWIFT. This is the eighth year Sun CAPS has won the award. The certification award indicates adherence to established guidelines for Straight Through Processing (STP), including transformation and routing, for reliable, secure and assured messaging.

SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, an industry-owned co-operative supplying secure, standardized messaging services and interface software to over 7,800 financial institutions in more than 200 countries. The standards in STP have lowered operating costs for members of the SWIFT global financial community. SWIFT participants can integrate new SWIFT services with their existing applications and infrastructure. New services from Sun include the Sun SeeBeyond eWay Adapter for SWIFT Alliance Gateway for Java CAPS. Sun has also developed a new SWIFT message monitoring solution.

Java CAPS offers a highly flexible and scalable integration solution for financial institutions. It is a suite of infrastructure software formed by Sun's acquisition of SeeBeyond's business integration software and the JavaTM Enterprise System (JES).

The SUN solution for universal indexing is eView. This is one of the products I do most works. Majority of the customers are the healthcare companies. Here is a summary from publicly available documents.

Many companies are extremely good at gathering customer data. They consistently collect customer information at the point of sale. They track customer buying habits and preferences over time. They survey their customers and diligently record the results. They manage customer information from multiple sources, including contact details, customer valuation data, results of direct marketing campaigns, and so on. But all too often, they don’t consolidate or integrate this information. The data resides in multiple systems, or “silos,” managed by multiple departments or lines of business, in multiple geographic locations. The data is never cross-compared, cross-pollinated, or updated in any consistent way.
As a result, these companies do not or cannot create a single customer view.

Organizations typically have customer data spread across many systems. It is fragmented and often inconsistent. This makes it difficult for organizations to understand the true value of customers, their likely behavior, their needs, and also the risks associated with them. Without a single view of those customers, organizations are in the dark and cannot effectively retain customers, cross-sell to them, deliver the right customer experience to them, or manage the risk associated with them. Some form of single customer view is, therefore, fundamental to managing customer relationships.
