Senior Application Developer Resume Example

Home Owners Automated Computer Transactions [HOACT] applications contain policies, new policies, mid-term changes, cancellations, reinstatements, renewals, renewal changes, and producer changes [from one producer to another producer].

HOACT, a homeowner's policy application is mainly used for creating policy statements and transactions for other applications. It takes input from PWS [a collection of 80-byte records], HRN and BCWS. HOACT verifies, rates and sends output transactions to Statistical Recording system (SRS), Electronics Forms Printing (EFP) [for policy printing] and to Policy View Online (PVO) [to view policy online]

HOACT also sends output to ATLAS application for claiming process and to BCWS for agent billing process. Also, it sends information to STAT for financial statements.
