Windsor Life
Windsor Lifes success in the Life Assurance and Pensions business over recent
years has been based on a strategy of growth through the acquisition of other life
companies and the subsequent merging of in-force business into their comprehensive
Life Assurance and Pensions Administration system, ALPHA. A major contribution to
their success has been the quality and flexibility of ALPHA.
"The real strength of Genus and DDSL lies in their ability to merge technical expertise
with the needs of the business. They take pride in delivering workable, user-friendly
solutions and providing a first-rate after-delivery support service."

Windsor Life
Genus and its sister company Design & Development Solutions Limited (DDSL) are
proud to have developed and maintained a successful relationship with Windsor Life
for a number of years. During this time, we have worked closely with experts from
Windsor Life in the ongoing development and maintenance of all that ALPHA encompasses,
primarily including the following:
Software Development
The enhancement of existing functionality or the development of new functionality
within the ALPHA system or stand alone applications utilising the following technologies:
MicroFocus COBOL
Visual Basic
SQL
Unix
The scope of each enhancement or development would involve many, if not all, of the following phases:
Requirements Definition
Analysis and Design
User Acceptance Test
Implementation and Sign Off
Data Migration.
The consolidation of data from one or more legacy systems onto the ALPHA system whilst
ensuring the reliability and integrity of the ALPHA system is maintained. Each
migration process would include the analysis and correction of the original legacy
data.
Data Correction.
The analysis, design and implementation of data fixes to resolve inconsistent data
issues affecting the reliability and functionality of the ALPHA system. Data
correction can apply to an individual client/policy or a group of clients/policies.
Business & Technical Consultation.
Owing to our knowledge of Windsor Life, its core administration systems and its business,
resources at genus are seen as a trusted and reliable authority and our expertise
is relied upon by Windsor Life and its third party service providers.
