Retail Banking-EAI-Java Server Contract - Architect
Development of business process components for the bank. Luc gathered User requirement, formalize them with UML , produces functional specifications, both on functional and non functional aspects. A Large number of division of the banks were covered, to enable seamless decomposition of the bank business processes into build-able IT components (J2EE), and re-usable processes over different channels (e.g: internet, counter, atm, wap...). Luc created a specific technique to avoid redundant duplication of similar processes, hence separating Business Processes from Application and of Business Entities (EJB) (recognised as EJB Patterns today, see publications). This also included the tools and infrastructure to support the process (RUP-Catalysis), analysis techniques (RM-ODP), large reference models (UML), XML Schemas. The result became a standard at a corporate level.
Luc installed from scratch a Linux based infrastructure, providing file server (nfs, samba), mail server (imap, fetchmail), webmail, firewalling, authentication, ssh, cvs server, dns, ftp, Twiki, apache, tomcat and run performance and availability test on these.
