Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The client is in the business of providing financial guaranty insurance. They manage thousands of insurance policies. The insurance policies have to be analyzed for various attributes each quarter. The analyses could involve change in status of the policies.
Global Surveillance is a group within client’s organization that monitors the underlying financial product insured by a policy. Their business is to insure primarily fixed income securities like Municipal Bonds. Surveillance keeps an eye on those bonds through the life of the policy.
The client needs a web based application that can manage the various insurance entities. The application can be called as Variable Interest Entities Consolidation (VIE consolidation or VIEC). It will be one of the many line of business applications (LOB).
The purpose of the project is to build an application to automate processes performed by the client’s Surveillance department. The client can identify transactions that they may have the power to direct activities of the Variable Interest Entity (VIE).
Competition Task Overview
This is the first concrete step taken to put the system together. This step will set up the environment along with a simple application that covers the following:
- Handles Windows Integrated Authentication and login page with Active Directory credentials plus Entrust token.
- Tests data persistence (CRUD) with SQL Server 2012 with at least one page
- Tests Lucene.NET index with some test data (at least one page to show this)
- At least one page that uses data grid from Kendo UI
The emphasis will be the algorithm/classifier training. GUI style of this application isn't important, it could be quite primitive, as long as it demonstrates the required features andu uses the required features.
Winner of this contest will be asked to setup the described environment on a VM.
