Scope of the Chrysalide project

The ‘Mutualités Libérales (400)’ have decided to use, with clear agreement

from the ‘Mutualités Socialistes’ (300), the Business Applications used

internally by ‘Mutualités Socialistes’. The objective is to use the same

environment 300-400 regarding the applications, data structures, and

databases, but on separate Logical Partitions (fully independent and secured

from each other)

Two major initiatives were required :

• Stream 1 : Adapt and re-engineer IT applications of UNMS and make them

independent of the insurer using it. Stream 1 has been won by NRB.

• Stream 2 : Migrate production data (including history) from the ‘Mutualités

Libérales’ to the Mutualités Socialistes. Stream 2 has been won by another

third party.

The aim being to ensure that the ‘Mutualités Libérales’ can use in production

their new IT environment no later than January 1st, 2015.

UNMS – NVSM Conclusion Key points of our collaboration with NRB

• Planning and budget respected through the project.

• Flexibility of the NRB team (100% local team based in Belgium)

• The project allowed us to improve some weaknesses in terms of

governance and methodology within our organization.

• The discovery phase detected about a million obsolete code lines

allowing a cleaning to be performed.

• On these points and many other aspects, we will benefit from our

collaboration on a long term :

• Status and library of ALL codes developped at UNMS

• Code Cleansing

• Cookbook

• …….

And all of this thanks to a close and excellent collaboration between the

UNMS and NRB Teams with the common goal of 1/1/2015 !
