Working with a global team in Canada, the U.S. and India, Acosys analyzed an EDS Claims System to document Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and assisted EDS evaluate, from a business perspective, future implementation. From the SOA model, coders will be able to clearly understand what business services need to be coded, helping to reduce the evaluation and development cycles.

This document was given to the vendor and the content writer to use as a basis for developing the portal. At the request of MNC, Acosys also created a development and project plan for the release approach for the portal design. In addition, Acosys performed User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with MNC to validate the quality of the content and functionality of the portal.
