Concuity
Building an automated job controller process for a startup healthcare provider.
The Client
Concuity, Inc.
The Project: Automated Job Controller Process
Challenge
Concuity's product had a significant manual batch process, which processed the
contracts and pricing dataset. This manual process had limited automation
capabilities and was also incapable of running in a multi-threaded environment.
Concuity had extremely aggressive schedules and very limited resources for
discovery phases making this project very challenging.
Concuity chose XYKA (formerly CATSi) based on XYKA's previously demonstrated
success in automation of batch processes and high domain knowledge. The reduced
cost factor by utilizing the offshore development center also played a
significant role in the vendor selection decision.
Solution
XYKA designed and developed an automated Job Controller that was built to be
configurable and multi-threaded. The functionality included scheduling jobs,
pre-processing and post-processing dependent jobs. The unique multi-threaded
data loading reduced performance bottlenecks and enabled Concuity to scale many
client processes with ease. Quantify, the architecture of job controller also
laid the framework for various application integration initiatives. The job
controller was written in Java and used Oracle tables for configuration.
Technology
Java, JDK 1.4.1, Unix Shell script, Oracle 8.1.5, PL/SQL stored procedures.
