Confidential is an Indiana-domiciled, publicly traded company that, through its subsidiary companies, provides health care benefits to millions of people. Wellpoint is the largest publicly traded health benefits company in the United States and an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Anthem, Inc. and Wellpoint Health Networks Inc. completed the merger on Nov 30th 2004. Anthem, Inc., the corporate parent, has been renamed Wellpoint, Inc., and Wellpoint, Inc. now serves approximately 34 million medical members through its Blue Cross or Blue Cross and Blue Shield operations in 14 states and its non-Blue branded operations in other states.

Role & Responsibilities:

EDWard Build Out: EDWard is an enterprise Warehouse for Confidential. EDWard was built on phases with different source systems being brought in a phased manner. The EDW built out was initiated in 2007 with preparation of road map for 5 years to integrate all the regional warehouses maintained by WellPoint Inc. and also laying out the foundation for Enterprise Model to make it scalable with improved latency.

As a DW Lead Architect for EDWard,

• Involved with Senior Management for Road map and strategy, High level architecture, POC's for evaluation of solutions, Modeling and Physicalization, Semantic Layer built out and performance testing.
• Lead team of Modelers and architects in conjunction to facilitate Modeling and Physical design, ETL Framework, Semantic layer and performance testing.
• Core Contributor in model design using Power Designer for subject areas Membership, Claims, Provider and Product in hybrid model. This also includes Modeling Landing zone, Confirmed Staging area and Semantic layer. Critical scenarios that were addressed include
• Version maintenance
• Easy accessibility for history using a concept Max Revision
• Audit and Error log Model for ETL process check points.
• Standards for Physical Data base design and DDL publish process
• Change Management Process.
• General Ledger balancing
• Conducted JAD sessions and performed several walk-thru's for business requirements and Model with different stake holders for gathering requirements and publishing model.
• Lead the ETL Frame work with data base layered architecture. Evaluation of ETL/ELT architecture at various function points and publishing the Enterprise Architecture reference.
• Performed number of POC's to support the frame work with different scenario's such as Informatica Push down optimization/Teradata BTeq's, MD5 logic for key generation, Transformation points, Diff processing, Evaluation of Lookups, TPump/MLoad/FLoad utility utilization and volumes to project the End-to-End executions.
• Designed and Automated Change Data Capture process and version maintenance for history using Database Dictionary that enables the code to be restraint from any DB changes for easy maintenance due to addition/modification of tables.
• Provided near real-time solution for core subject areas such Membership and claims using IBM Event Publisher and MQ to enable real-time log reading capabilities.

Risk Id Stratification:

Risk analysis tied with Scoring based on Diagnosis codes and procedure code using different grouping tools such as DxCG, DRG and ETG

• Designed the process to extract billions (70+) claims using partitions in extracts for parallel processing utilizing multi-threading for these s/w's and loading back to Warehouse.
• Provided solution for the data archival for input data in Green Plum server for end users that gave the ability of traceability.

Decommission Regional Warehouses: 

Regional data warehouses dependencies need to be migrated to EDWard inorder to decommission them so that EDWard to become single source of truth for all the reporting and analytical needs

Some of the challenges that need to be addressed as an Architect involed

• Understand its existing technologies (some of them usage sql servers with multiple copies of data) and architectures along with infrastructure dependencies (licensing/contractual obligations)
• Understand the process dependencies and bottlenecks and separate the logical groups into different projects for execution.
• Solution an architecture and road map that can enable the migration of dependencies/data gaps to EDWard and decommissioning of the regional warehouse
• Stakeholder buy-in that includes business priorities/costs. Have done multiple presentations to teams with 60-70 members that include business, technology and management teams.
• Work thru the execution and establish project dependencies and timelines. Monitor the risks and establish the solutions for mitigation.

Apart from the above projects being architect in WellPoint Inc., I have got opportunity in designing solutions for variety of projects such Lab data integration that involves HL7 (hierarchy format data), WebMd sourcing and providing presentations for different products such as claim based reporting and analytics.

Description:

BDW project is IBM's model for banking customized for Standard Chartered Bank's data warehouse for reporting on various marts such as Customer Revenue, Single view of Customer etc.

Technical design includes 3 stages namely staging area, System of Record and Data Mart. The source data is taken from different systems such as core banking, loans, cards etc., Month end processing is done to move the data from staging area and subsequently to Data warehouse. Marts such as Customer Revenue, Single View of Customer (Customer analysis) are designed in Dimensional Modeling Design. Marts are loaded as requested by User at the month end.

Reporting is done by Business Objects using WEBI and Universes are designed for different set of reports. Essbase is used for reports with aggregations. All the feed is taken from Marts as well as warehouse to build the cubes, which typically involves 4-5 hrs of calculation process. Reports are accessed using Excel using Hyperion add-in facility.

BDW is extended to include BASLE-2 related changes according to international Banking standards.

Role: DW Lead
