Business Problem/Scope of Work

Goal: Implement Secure Data Transfer for Public Schools and Research Institutions
 
Our Client is a Global Educational Organization (GEO) offers cutting-edge learning solutions, innovative research, and reliable assessments to guide learners worldwide towards new opportunities. With over 70 years of experience, thier products and services are built upon a strong foundation of research and our belief in the transformative power of learning.
 
The GEO was facing a major challenge - how to securely and efficiently transfer data between its rapidly growing number of locations and departments. With a strong presence in both public schools and research institutions worldwide, GEO knew that a robust data transfer framework was crucial to support its continued growth and development.
 
GEO partnered with a PRONIX team to create a comprehensive data transfer framework that included regular evaluations, a secure data exchange platform, compliance with data protection regulations and tailored data security and privacy measures. This framework allowed GEO to safely and efficiently transfer data while also protecting sensitive information and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
 
Through the implementation of this framework, GEO was able to continue its growth and development, providing the best education for its staff and students. This is a story of a successful partnership between GEO and a PRONIX that helped GEO overcome its data transfer challenge and continue to thrive as a global leader in education and research.

 

Business Solution

Our business solution for a candidate data transfer system is designed to meet the needs of multiple testing programs. The system is built to improve efficiency and customization while accommodating multiple programs into the same deployment. Our system organizes the data transfer process into multiple stages and each stage can be configured based on the specific test program, allowing for greater customization and independence.
 
The system also offers automated, unattended execution, internal web monitoring and control, and secure data transfer. The system does this by restricting direct access to other component databases and allowing access to APIs. This ensures that data transfer is secure and that only authorized personnel can access the data. Additionally, the system allows for the transfer of data for multiple candidates at once, which speeds up the data transfer process and increases overall efficiency.
 
In summary, our business solution for a candidate data transfer system provides a highly customizable and efficient solution for multiple testing programs. It allows for streamlined data transfer processes, secure data transfer, and increased efficiency by allowing the transfer of data for multiple candidates at once. Our solution is a perfect fit for any organization looking to streamline and secure their data transfer process.
 
 

 

Technical Solution

Our technical solution for deploying and managing candidate data transfers is designed to help organizations improve the efficiency and security of their data transfer processes. We utilized a combination of Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), and AWS Batch to ensure scalability, performance, and security.
 
Our approach to deployment and management was seamless, we used EC2 instances and existing application deployment tools and processes, or integrated with automated deployment tools such as AWS CodeDeploy or AWS OpsWorks. We also used S3 to store candidate admin records files, which offered industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.
 
We also used SQS to distribute the load in CDT BAT instances and AWS Batch to dynamically provision the optimal quantity and type of compute resources based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted. This ensures that our solution can handle large amounts of data and can adapt to changes in the organization's needs over time.
 
We also used Spring Task Executor, JSON format and Groovy utility class to validate and secure the data being transferred. This allowed us to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, and ensure the quality and integrity of the data being transferred.
 
Our technical solution for candidate data transfer was designed to be efficient, secure, and adaptable to the organization's needs. We can help your organization overcome its data transfer challenges and improve its efficiency and security.
