Further development of application for support of insurance customers
Project duration: 5 months
Brief description
Further development of software for supporting customer advisory services in the insurance sector. The project involves revising the homepage and an enhancement for individualizing the user interface. It also includes developing a prototype for switching between two application instances.
Supplement
The browser-based application, which PTA GmbH developed previously, is implemented as a dynamic single-page application that communicates with the back end via web services exclusively. Cappuccino is used as an object-oriented JavaScript framework. The first task is to replace the old homepage with a new one. This provides more information and functions. Second, the user interface is individualized with the help of configuration objects, so that range of consulting services and the available functions can be adjusted depending on the institution providing the consulting. Finally, prototypes are developed to evaluate the technical possibilities for switching between two instances of the application. A proxy based on the JavaScript interpreter node.js is developed for the back end to simulate web services.
Subject description
The new homepage is intended to improve access to the consultation and provide an initial overview of the consulting situation. Information regarding the consultant and customer is displayed. The individualized application is better adapted to the consultant. Only services that can also be offered are displayed. The prototypes identify the options for switching between consulting profiles (e.g. person and company) without exiting the application.
