UIA Application Technical Overview
• Presentation Tier
• Integration Tier
• Business Tier
• Data Tier
• Batch Environment
uFACTS Technical Framework – Application Architecture
UIA Technical - Features
Comprehensive Application Architecture
– Integrated Benefits and Tax Application
– Multi-tiered (Presentation, Service, Integration and Information)
– Multiple channels of access (Online, IVR, Mobile)
– Services based (business and technical)
Pre-built integration with leading third-party applications
– Document Management/Workflow: FileNet
– Address Validation: USPS
– Loosely coupled
Pre-built web services integration with Federal agencies
– ICON, SSA, Homeland Security, SIDES, TOPS
Tools to automate development tasks
– Visual code generation
– Streamlined data collection
Correspondence Generation
Architecture
– Correspondence documents modeled as WYSIWYG templates and
stored in XML format (XForms)
– Templates repository stored in an external source (Database, file
system)
– Template merged with correspondence data at runtime and
transformed to PDF and/or printer formats
Features/Benefits
– Multi-output support (PDF, VIPP)
– Documents printed with Integrity marks (barcode, OMR),
header/trailer pages
Document Management
Architecture– Mailed or faxed documents processed using FileNet’s document
intake tool ‘Capture Professional’
– Scanning personnel create batches in Capture Professional to process both mailed and faxed documents
– Outbound documents are bar coded and when the document is received back the system will automatically index and/or assign to workflow queue
– Ad-hoc documents received are placed in indexing workflow for staff to act upon
• Features/Benefits– All documents are accessible from within the system (no need to
access imaging system separately)
– Annotation functionality is supported
– High volume and high performance output
Technical Framework – Workflow
Architecture
• Workflow automates specific business processes
• Uses FileNet Business Process Manager for its workflow functionality
• Seamless integration with the UIA
• Workflow items are either pushed to or pulled by the system user
Features/Benefits• Workflow can be assigned to groups, individuals or
administrators
• Workflow history and performance can be tracked
• Document Images and other system generated documents can be attached to workflow (seamless integration with content manager)
Technical Framework – Batch
Data Architecture – Features/Benefits
Database Architecture
– Integrated data model for UI tax and benefits
– Relational database design
– Normalized database
– Referential integrity enforced
– Indexes for optimal access paths
– Partitioning of tables, as appropriate for optimal access paths
– Use of sequences,views (triggers and stored procedures not used)
– Encryption/hashing of private data
– System-generated claimant ID (instead of SSN)
Database Design Process
– Database Design Standards
– Database Change Management Process
– Database Design Team Members (Team Leads, Data Architect, DBA and Technical Architect)
Technical Framework – Data Architecture
Other Data Stores
– LDAP for user/role data
– FileNet for documents and images
– File System for batch/ftp/online upload/download files
– Data stored by logical groupings in FileNet and the File System
Reporting Database – NEW not part of original design
– Copy of transactional database (periodic data copy)
– Additional indexes to support querying
– Limited data transformation to enhance query
performanceTransactional
Database
Reporting
Database
Technical Framework – SOA/Interfaces
Web Service-based Integration– Interfaces for ICON, SSA, and Homeland Security
– Business services can be exposed as web services following SOA standards
– Secure HTTP communication
– Real-time integration with other internal/external systems
File-based Integration– Relies upon high-volume parallel batch processing capabilities
– Together with scheduling tool provides extensive monitoring/audit trail
– Leverages common logic from business services
– Secure FTP for file transfers
Interface Design/Development Process– Work with other agencies to jointly plan, design, develop, and test interfaces
– Interfaces documented via SRI document, batch process documentation, and (for web services) WSDL and XML schema information
Change Management
– Established Change Management System and Migrated January 2014
– CR to Team Foundation Server
– CCB established and all production

Project: Enterprise Workforce Operations Center Transformation (EWOCT)
Date: 07/20/17
Operational Readiness
Executive Sponsor: Sue Anne Athens Business Owner: Eric Hausenfleck, John Hudson
Specific Business Change: Customers utilizing NMDWS online services have multiple credentials (user ids and passwords) for online applications. The intent of this project is to provide customers a user-friendly (single userid and password) solution while establish a stronger security posture for DWS agency.
Application Change: Implement a single-sign-on (SSO) solution with multiple applications (UIA, WOTC, L & I, and VOSS) while improving authentication, authorization and accounting for customers credentials.
Internal Stakeholders: 1. DWS Employees 2. 3. 4.
Internal User Impacts: Reduce the number of log ins for NMDWS applications, change pw and security reset process, provide advanced security tools for fraud team
External Stakeholders: 1. All DWS Customers 2. 3. 4.
External User Impacts: Change log-in process to create single user id and pw for all DWS applications, change to a single access point for all DWS secured services, increase security challenges as necessary
