Description:-

The objective of this project is to enhance credit cards offer pages. Appropriate offers to be displayed to the customer are based on the data pulled from the backend systems. Users can login using their account credentials or the user can prefer to fill in the prospect form. Based on the user identity, we would be fetching the customized offers for the customer which requires interaction among many web services. We have to identify the user with identification so that we can pull in the offers allocated for that customer. We had to make another web service call to pull in the eligible offers for the customer and we had few other systems to be interacted to pull in the offer details. So this project involved cascading of various web services which were handled by different teams. We were successfully able to coordinate with all the teams and able to implement this project.
