Business Challenge
An Online Access Control System was required by the online presence of a major consumer organisation. The organisation had over one hundred thousand members with different classifications of membership. It was required to consolidate the diverse internet operations of the organisation onto a single website. In addition, the Online Access Control Systems was required to integrate with the company's legacy batch Fulfilment System. There were a number of major business requirements and technical challenges associated with this project including:
-
An Online Access Control System which would meet current and future business requirements
-
Integrating the new system with the company's Fulfilment System
-
Access of current members would not be disrupted by the changes
-
The diverse access permissions of all current members must be maintained i.e. members must not lose, even temporarily, access to the services they were entitled to access
-
Maintaining registration of new members, ensuring correct access to content rights
-
Maintaining website performance while these changes were being undertaken
-
The new Online Access Control System required to fit in with the new corporate IT Architecture
Solution
The Online Access Control System was designed and built to meet the business requirements and was integrated with the organisation's customer Fulfilment System. Our specific contributions to this projected included:
-
Investigated technical feasibility of project
-
Specified the Online Access Control System technical requirements
-
Defined technical interfaces requirements to Fulfilment System
-
Tagged all generated content to fulfill access permission requirements for Content Management System integration
-
Developed, optimised and tested software
-
