  1. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase I

  2. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase II objectives • Retirement of the legacy DTC and NSCC billing systems • Standardized data integration processing • End-to-End balancing • Enhanced MIS capabilities for those interfaces utilizing/converting to UBF

  3. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase II Appx. 85 Interfaces (appx. 50 million rows daily -summarized to appx. .5 million rows monthly)

  4. DATA INTEGRATION - requirements • Source data from a wide range of sources (predominantly mainframe sources) • Write data to a wide range of targets • Transform data according to billing rules • Process more than 50 million transactions per day

  5. DATA INTEGRATION – background • Looked at Inventory • Explored WBI • Much too costly • Unnecessary real-time overhead • Similar issues with other EAI vendors • True ETL problem set • Validated with research vendors

  6. ETL OVERVIEW • E - Extraction* • T - Transformation • L -  Loading • Other features • Visibility • Dependency management • Reusability • Versioning • Auditing *Also referred to by some vendors as Capture, Transform and Flow

  7. ETL – tool selection process • Formation of Tool Selection Committee • Infrastructure, ADM, product management, Arch. Office • CMMi Compliant Process (SAM pilot) • RFI • Product Selection Criteria • Proof of Concept • Final Selection • ROI • Acquisition

  8. ETL – tool selection process – stage A • Stage A: Pre-screen the ETL products and short-list two products. • Step1: Pre-screened the vendors: The following four vendors were selected based upon previous experience, market share and publishedreports. • Ascential • DataMirror • Informatica • SAS • Step2: Requested information and product demonstration. • Step3: ETL tool selection committee discussed and evaluated the information and two products were selected for further evaluation.

  9. ETL – tool selection process – stage B • Stage B: Final selection of the product • Step1: Developed and documented comprehensive list of evaluation criteria, success criteria and weight based upon consultation with various stakeholders. • Step2: Evaluated the two vendor products through a well defined/documented “proof of concept” process. • Step3: Made the final selection based upon evaluation-score and price.

  10. ETL – tool selection criteria • Company Profile • Product Profile • DTCC Specific Requirements • Example: Ability to call external programs • Relative Strengths and Weaknesses • Example: Connectivity to metadata repositories • Price

  11. ETL – sample evaluation criteria

  12. ETL – sample evaluation criteria – cont’d.

  13. ETL – final selection • Ascential Software • Functionality • Most flexibility • Distributed run-time engine • Generated COBOL (mainframe) • Price • Favorable ROI (based solely on Billing usage)
