As part of implementing a new Business Application, our client aimed to decouple a business-critical database from the old system and create a standalone data platform. The challenge at hand was to enable real-time data movement between the standalone data platform, new application and other relevant data sources.
Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the project requirements, encompassing functionality, data exchange needs, security considerations, and performance expectations. In the design phase, we carefully crafted API specifications, including endpoints, request/response formats (such as JSON), authentication mechanisms, and error handling. Multiple APIs were built to cater to the specific requirements identified during the analysis.
By implementing API services for real-time data movements, the client achieved significant benefits:
Real-Time Data Accessibility: Establishing API services for real-time data movements ensured that all the relevant systems had up to date data. This enabled the client to make informed decisions promptly and enhanced the overall underwriting process.
Enhanced Search Capabilities: APIs empowered underwriters to efficiently search, select, update, and add relevant data from the new data platform. Moreover, the new business application could retrieve real-time data from other systems through APIs, enabling comprehensive data accessibility.
In summary, the implementation of APIs enabled the client to overcome data-related challenges, resulting in increased operational efficiency, real-time data accessibility, and enhanced search and data manipulation capabilities. These improvements greatly contributed to more efficient and effective underwriting processes.
