Who is the Client?

The Client is the auto financing group for two major car manufacturers. The Client makes loans to the public for buying new vehicles and also makes financing available for vehicle leases.

What was the client’s need?

The two car manufacturers replaced their retail and lease systems with next-generation technology. As a part of this project, all the functionality existing in their legacy systems was transferred to the new system. There were more than 400 existing interfaces between internal and external systems that had to be redirected to the new auto finance system. TIBCO BW was used to achieve the project objectives.

What services did Data-Core provide?

The following tasks were performed by Data-Core:

• Developed the solutions and pattern of communications for various interfaces between the website and various internal and external systems.
• Designed the TIBCO interfaces.
• Enforced the best practices for TIBCO development, including TIBCO Smart Mapper for cross reference.
• Guided the interface development teams.
• Led the administration team in setting up project structure in PVCS.
• Converted the functional requirements to the technical requirements for Dealer Track.

Summary:

The successful completion of the project resulted in a fully integrated auto finance system for these major car manufacturers and improved visibility of the entire finance supply chain, both internally and externally. The quality of the data improved throughout the process and the new system could scale to handle the transactions the manufacturers are expecting during their planning horizon.
