Deployed identity service

Give membership a reusable identity

Different insurance products had their own enrollment systems and could create duplicate identifiers. I proposed a common identifier service and a way to connect it to the enrollment program.

Customer MDM product management; proof of concept and integration proposal

01

Why identity mattered

Customer MDM was responsible for maintaining identity while insurance products continued to use separate enrollment platforms. I saw the need for a shared identifier service rather than treating each product’s identifier as an isolated concern.

02

My decision and proposal

I asked the team for a proof of concept, explored reuse of an existing identifier algorithm and prepared the proposed service and integration steps for program leadership.

03

A funded, integrated service

Leadership funded the work, and the service was deployed and connected to enrollment. It supplied IDs usable as card numbers and compatible with IVR, digital and customer-service requirements.
