Project Synopsis

Revamp of IT Infrastructure from Legacy Systems with DB2 to SOA based Modern Open System technologies based primarily on Oracle Fusion product suite.

The purpose of the Programme was to transform the various IT System silos from IBM z/OS Mainframe to Open Systems, based on SOA architecture style & BPM, Java Enterprise, OFMW Suite, Hybrid Cloud and Server & Desktop Virtualization. This solution includes various constraints due to completely controlled onsite development and implementation.

This Programme includes setting up the entire OFMW Stack (SOA, BPM, IAM, UCM suites 11 based SOA / BPM environment that uses Oracle GoldenGate, CICS Transaction Server v4.1 Web Services (SOAP, REST), Oracle Tuxedo / Attunity CICS adapters, Oracle Universal Content Management, Oracle WebCenter 11g, DB2 9.7 on z/OS Mainframe, Oracle 11g database and JDeveloper 11g.

OWSM was used to perform security policy enforcement at endpoints and for SLA compliant monitoring.

OBPM was positioned as human-centric process engine with support for system interaction.

Key business decision logic are abstracted out of individual services and managed in a single repository in OBRM.

BPEL 1.0 and some constructs from BPEL 2.0 was used to describe business processes (service orchestrations)

ESB was used for routing (abstracting the physical location of a service), transforming service requests (transform from one format to another or enrich messages by adding additional information to them) between components and validate that messages conform to interface contracts. OSB was used as the ESB for interactions outside the SOA Suite. OESB (Mediator component) was used as the ESB for interactions within the SOA Suite.

OBAM provides a real time monitoring/view of activities (processes and services data) to end users.

OB2B was used for supporting agreement/contract management B2B protocols (EDIFACT/ANSI X12 or RosettaNet) over the external partners.

OCEP was used to do time based and series based analysis of data.

Tivoli Universal Agent was used to Enhance z/OS Monitoring.

The cloud infrastructure was built using Oracle Reference Architecture Application Infrastructure Foundation Release 3.0.

Project Synopsis

Inland Revenue Interactive Network (IRIN) was the IRAS core system for processing all its tax types such as Individual Income Tax, Corporate Tax, GST, Property tax, clearance, S45, etc., IRIN was a high availability (24x7), net-centric system supporting 2000+ internal users, and users of several external parties such as Tax Agents, Corporate Representatives and other government agencies.

IRIN version 1.0 was released first in 2004 and fully commissioned in 2006 to version 1.2.

IRIN 2.0 was the Tech Refresh & Application Modernization Programme that upgrades the technology and infrastructure of IRIN 1.0 to the latest technologies and to optimize the application, primarily to Overcome Technology Obsolescence & Extend System Lifetime, Resolve current production issues and Optimize System Efficiency.

IRIN 1.0 was based on the Avanade Connected Architecture (ACA) 2.0. This was replaced by Enterprise Library 4.1 in IRIN 1.2.

IRIN system supports the following 7 key functional areas:

1. eServices to support external tax payers (Custom)

2. Tax Payer Relationship Management (Siebel)

3. Tax Compliance and Analytics (Siebel + Custom)

4. Core Processing for Tax Administration (Custom + several packages)

5. Enterprise Workflow (Custom extensions to K2.NET)

6. Enterprise Knowledge Management (Sharepoint Portal, Content Management Server)

7. Data Warehousing and Analytics (Cognos)

Identity & Access Management (IAM) will be implemented using the following tools:

i-Sprint AccessMatrix UAM 5 was used for Authentication, Single Sign-on& Authorization (Both Course-grained and Fine-grained authorizations) of external users. The XML-RPC and SOAP API interfaces of UAM 5 are used by the Security Framework component.

Tivoli's enterprise security solution suite was used for Authentication, Single Sign-on& Authorization (Both Course-grained and Fine-grained authorizations) of internal users.

Tivoli Identity Manager 5.1 was used for Role based provisioning engine

Tivoli Access Manager 6.1.1 for eBusiness was used for SSO

Tivoli Security Policy Manager 7.1 was used for Fine grained authorization engine

Tivoli WebSEAL was used as Policy Enforcer. It provides an authentication and authorization mechanism to enable end-to-end Single Sign On (SSO) for HTTP based Web servers thus keeping the web server systems remain safely isolated from Internet traffic and threats. In this solution, WebSEAL acts as a reverse proxy (a proxy that lets users into a protected network as opposed to one that lets users out). The WebSEAL reverse proxy was deployed in the DMZ and similar security zone. A client would be authenticated by WebSEAL via userID and password, and a token would be assigned and associated with the transaction for the remainder of the communication.

The key Enterprise Software tools & technologies used and their purpose are as follows:

TIBCO Active Matrix was used as the EAI Engine

WebSphere Message Broker 7.0.0.1 was used for External Value Networks (EVN)

IBM InfoSphere DataStage 8.1 was used as the Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tool

Fair Isaac Companys Blaze Advisor .NET 6.9 was used as the Business Rules Engine

Top Image Systems eFlow 4.5 was used for Optical Recognition.

Adobe Central Output Server 5.7 was used for Reporting.

Custom extensions to K2.NET are used for Enterprise Workflow.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix was used as the development, deployment and management of composite business process management (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications.

TIBCO BusinessEvents was used as the complex event processing (CEP) software that enables IRAS to identify meaningful patterns across their business. It does so by correlating massive volumes of data about discrete events and applying predefined rules to identify situations that require a response.

Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus was used as a carrier-class service and business assurance system that collects and consolidates enterprise-wide event and alarm information in real-time from many different network data sources and presents a simplified view of this information to operators and administrators.

The packaged applications integrated into the IRIN 2.0 application framework are as follows:

Oracles Siebel 8.1.1 was used as the CRM solution

FileNet4.1.2 was used as the Document Management Tool

Cognos Business Intelligence v10.1 was used as the Data Warehousing and Analytics tool

AppFabric Cache (Velocity) was used for distributed caching of various static business data such as the Codes Table.

Architected and implemented the Enterprise Search and Retrieval (ESR), Information Optimization and Data Visualization solutions using Autonomy Enterprise Search / Information optimization platform.

MOSS 2010 was used for building all the intranet applications that are used by Tax officers. MOSS 2010 and Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2010 are used for Enterprise Knowledge Management. MS Project 2010 was extensively used for project planning, scheduling, tracking and reporting.
