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
See "VIEC_VIEC_Frontend_Assembly_Specification.doc" and the TCUML for details.
Coding Requirements
You should use the provided code as baseline and add a NEW frontend (MVC) project to the existing solution, do NOT reuse the existing frontend project because we want to separate the Core and VIEC frontend code. Your submission should be a single solution containing both the backend code and frontend code.
