  • Brought in to provide solutions to the finance teams to help smooth the merger of two major housing associations with respect to their diverse third party management systems
  • The crux of the problem was to parse housing benefit files based on which ever system the appropriate tenancy resided in and produce output files to enable automatic import into target housing management systems
  • The merging of both sets of data was phased so the solution had to provide integration into both Orchard and IBS housing systems through SQL Server via ODBC connections
  • Final solution was in the form of a secure web application providing the necessary functionality to upload and parse txt and csv files
  • The data contained in these files was then presented to the user to select which target system the data would eventually end up in
  • This solution was later expanded to include other payment methods such as bank statements and other import routines
  • The web application was secured via a combination of SQL roles and logins and windows authentication based on active directory– essentially single sign on
  • Solution had to handle many variations of file structure and this was held in the database and was fully configurable and extendable
  • Other aspects of the solution include archiving of all data and files processed, complete logging, security
