Project: Intranet for the Renessans Strakhovaniye / Renaissance Insurance Company.

Customer
Renessans Strakhovaniye a leading company in Russia’s modern insurance market.
Renessans Strakhovaniye has an A++ rating, the highest possible, from Expert RA, a national rating agency assuring its financial stability and solvency.
Renessans Strakhovaniye is licensed for all types of insurance and offers clients a full range of products backed by more than 10 years of experience in the Russian market.

Task
The initial idea was to develop a modern corporate portal, which transformed into the development of full a corporate intranet, in accordance with the design concept proposed by the Design Bureau Artem Gorbunov and with the full support of Renessans Strakhovaniye’s HR unit.

Solution
The intranet is integrated with multiple in-house information systems, including personnel, documents, information guides, and implements the majority of the functions specific to corporate portals.

Major competitive advantages from the new intranet include

• a new, integrated telephone directory combined with the other information that helped the company streamline the data on the administrative structure and various units of Gruppa Renessans Strakhovaniye / Renaissance Insurance Group LLC;
• simplifying and assisting new employees in learning the company;
• organizing and improving accessibility of corporate information, including current internal projects, competitions, career opportunities, etc.; and
• facilitating efficient communications between management and staff.

Technologies
A separate portal platform (portlets, integration elements, etc.) was developed for the project based on ASP.NET/MS SQL. The portal platform provides better usability and target functionality than the standard implementation of MS Sharepoint.

Initial data:
A desktop XUL tool working with text files: it presented data in the table and performed filtering and searching queries on the data.
The tool consisted of two parts: XUL client and C++ server. XUL part was responsible for GUI and C++ part did data filtering. The client and server communicated with each other using disk files.

Task:
Our task was to increase the speed of data processing, fix application bugs and add multiple data source support: application-specific input and output files and the ability to import and export the files.

Result:
The C++ server was designed and developed from scratch as a command processing service. It communicates with the XUL client using socket, and provides a 70-80% performance increase for data filtering.
The XUL client was modified to support open/save in its own data files format that combines data and filtering criteria for user convenience; export/import to CSV format; data type mapping screen with type correctness checking was added to the application. Some GUI changes were made: modifying menu items, icons, controls, event handlers, etc. Some business logic and GUI problems were detected and fixed.

Technologies: Mozilla XUL, JavaScript, C++, SQLite.
