Customer
The customer is a UK-based software development firm providing professional services to regulated organisations such as financial and pharmaceutical environments.
Challenge
The customer needed a HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) reporting module that would act as a gateway between the legacy .NET application and named authority. Solution has to support all currently used protocols and enable automatic submission of various types of reports to HMRC, such as VAT returns, EC sales list, Corporation Tax, Self Assessment and more.
Solution
OB&T business analyst and system architect investigated business processes and protocols under the HMRC online reporting and created technical documentation, including detailed functional specification and system architecture. A team of developers and testers created, fine-tuned and integrated newly developed module using Microsoft .NET technology stack. Gateway was implemented to support latest protocol specification by HMRC, to be easily tunable and adopted to future protocol updates.
Results
OB&T provided full-cycle implementation and QA, based on TDD (Test Driven Development) approach and using XP (eXtreme Programming) principles. Gateway was successfully delivered and utilised within the customer .NET solution.
