Streamlining Billing Modernization: Phases I & II Overview and ETL Tool Selection Process

This document outlines the objectives and requirements of the Billing Modernization initiative, specifically Phase I and Phase II. Key goals include retiring outdated billing systems, achieving standardized data integration, end-to-end balancing, and enhancing management information systems (MIS) capabilities. Additionally, it details the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool selection process involving vendor evaluation based on functionality, price, and specific requirements. The insights gathered from this modernization effort aim to improve data processing efficiency for over 50 million transactions daily.

  1. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase I

  2. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase II objectives • Retirement of the legacy DTC and NSCC billing systems • Standardized data integration processing • End-to-End balancing • Enhanced MIS capabilities for those interfaces utilizing/converting to UBF

  3. BILLING MODERNIZATION – phase II Appx. 85 Interfaces (appx. 50 million rows daily -summarized to appx. .5 million rows monthly)

  4. DATA INTEGRATION - requirements • Source data from a wide range of sources (predominantly mainframe sources) • Write data to a wide range of targets • Transform data according to billing rules • Process more than 50 million transactions per day

  5. DATA INTEGRATION – background • Looked at Inventory • Explored WBI • Much too costly • Unnecessary real-time overhead • Similar issues with other EAI vendors • True ETL problem set • Validated with research vendors

  6. ETL OVERVIEW • E - Extraction* • T - Transformation • L -  Loading • Other features • Visibility • Dependency management • Reusability • Versioning • Auditing *Also referred to by some vendors as Capture, Transform and Flow

  7. ETL – tool selection process • Formation of Tool Selection Committee • Infrastructure, ADM, product management, Arch. Office • CMMi Compliant Process (SAM pilot) • RFI • Product Selection Criteria • Proof of Concept • Final Selection • ROI • Acquisition

  8. ETL – tool selection process – stage A • Stage A: Pre-screen the ETL products and short-list two products. • Step1: Pre-screened the vendors: The following four vendors were selected based upon previous experience, market share and publishedreports. • Ascential • DataMirror • Informatica • SAS • Step2: Requested information and product demonstration. • Step3: ETL tool selection committee discussed and evaluated the information and two products were selected for further evaluation.

  9. ETL – tool selection process – stage B • Stage B: Final selection of the product • Step1: Developed and documented comprehensive list of evaluation criteria, success criteria and weight based upon consultation with various stakeholders. • Step2: Evaluated the two vendor products through a well defined/documented “proof of concept” process. • Step3: Made the final selection based upon evaluation-score and price.

  10. ETL – tool selection criteria • Company Profile • Product Profile • DTCC Specific Requirements • Example: Ability to call external programs • Relative Strengths and Weaknesses • Example: Connectivity to metadata repositories • Price

  11. ETL – sample evaluation criteria

  12. ETL – sample evaluation criteria – cont’d.

  13. ETL – final selection • Ascential Software • Functionality • Most flexibility • Distributed run-time engine • Generated COBOL (mainframe) • Price • Favorable ROI (based solely on Billing usage)
