and Design Data Flow: Design and implement a robust architecture for
Change Data Capture (CDC) to enable data synchronization between the
TriZetto Facets database and the Abacus Insights data platform.
- Implement
CDC: Lead the setup and configuration of CDC within MS SQL Server to
ensure efficient and accurate data replication, capturing inserts,
updates, and deletes from the Facets database. Understand the impacts of
upgrades, data refreshes, patching and other activities on the health of
the data integration.
- Facets
& Abacus Integration: Look at the data ecosystem holistically to
maximize the efficiency of the Abacus/PHP data partnership and minimize
maintenance. Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to
ensure seamless CDC integration between Facets and the Abacus Insights
data platform, leveraging the strengths of both systems.

& Best Practices: Create detailed technical documentation on the CDC
architecture and data flow processes. Establish and enforce best practices
for future CDC implementations and system scalability.
- Troubleshooting
& Support: Quickly identify and resolve any technical issues during
the CDC implementation and post-launch to ensure ongoing functionality.
- Training
and Knowledge Transfer: Provide training and guidance to internal teams to
ensure they are well-versed in CDC technology and processes.
