application lifecycle management case study

Case Study: Full application lifecycle management using rapid application development

Client: milliman.

Streamline process and reduce human capital expense by automating actuarial algorithms for Milliman.

Our client, Milliman, is among the world’s largest providers of actuarial and related products and service.

Milliman Captive Portal

The Captive Manager Portal allows Milliman clients to automatically assess risk for a range of insurance policies based upon employee demographics, risk tolerances and past historical data. This streamlined process saved Milliman countless man hours by automating much of their actuarial algorithms.

Application Lifecycle Management

LyncStream helped Milliman achieve its goals by thoroughly understanding the business needs, bridging the technical gap and delivering on time with our comprehensive end to end application lifecycle management process. Using an iterative approach to development we were able make changes to project control and provide maximum visibility into project direction.

Rapid Application

Development Using LyncStream’s application platform, Axiom, combined with our proven development processes we were able to deliver a high quality solution that would not have been possible using conventional development tools and methodologies. Axiom provides a wide range of reusable software components that help accelerate line of business application. Instead of spending time “re-inventing the wheel” developers can focus on core business needs. Learn more about the Axiom platform herewww.axiom.lyncstream.com

LyncStream was able to execute this custom software project when other partners were not. They did this by leveraging Milliman’s particular actuarial knowledge and LyncStream’s technical expertise. LyncStream’s reputation is founded upon consistently delivering the right technical solutions that enable our customers to compete and win in their marketplace.

Achieve business scenarios with application lifecycle management

• 3 contributors

This content is archived and is not being updated. For the latest documentation, go to What's new in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights . For the latest release plans, go to Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform release plans .

Business value

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights starts supporting application and environment lifecycle management capabilities for common enterprise-grade requirements. For example, you can copy, reset, or delete your Customer Insights environments. Additionally, the system ensures your Customer Insights environment and the associated Dataverse environment are always in sync.

Feature details

Customer Insights starts supporting application lifecycle management (ALM) and environment lifecycle management (ELM).

ALM refers to the lifecycle management of the application itself. Healthy ALM practices assist the organization with performing its business activities and achieving its goals over time.

For example:

• Copying configurations and selections from a sandbox environment that is mainly used for testing and development to a production environment that is used for your business’ activities.
• Resetting a Customer Insights environment in case you need to reconfigure it end to end or in case it becomes unusable so downtime is minimal and the potential impact on your business activities is minimized.

ELM ensures that any lifecycle operations that are performed in the Dataverse or Power Platform environments associated with your Customer Insights environment are handled properly.

For example: If a Dataverse environment is moved or deleted, your associated Customer Insights environment must handle the event properly, ensure you are notified, and inform you of any follow-up actions you can or must take.

Life cycle costing: understanding how it is practised and its relationship to life cycle management—a case study.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

2. theoretical background, 2.1. a brief overview of practice theory and its elements, 2.2. life cycle costing, 2.3. life cycle management as a practice and its relation to life cycle costing, 2.4. product-service systems as a practice, 3.1. method overview, 3.2. case company and background for introducing lcc.

• Understand in detail the change in the cost structure and cost drivers between PSS and business-as-usual;
• Compare the LCC for various offerings for the same or for different customers;
• Identify uncertainties;
• Identify additional ways of using LCC to improve LCM.

3.3. Data Collection and Analysis

3.3.1. the role of the researcher, 3.3.2. documents, 3.3.3. interviews, focus groups, activities, and dissemination seminars, 4. results on contestation and conformity between lcc practice and extant practices, 4.1. body of the individual, 4.2. mind of the individual, 4.3. objects—material and symbolic.

“this is not how we slice the cake… trying to allocate these costs (sales and customer costs) to products will be more effort than doing the LCC”. (I19)

4.4. Collective Knowledge

4.5. discourse—a common denominator, 4.6. individuals—the role of r&d engineers, 4.7. structure and processes, 4.8. discussion, 5. life cycle costing’s relationship to life cycle management, 5.1. life cycle costing propelling life cycle management, 5.1.1. background.

First, both parties aim at carrying out research with world-class scientific quality contributing to global competitiveness of the Swedish manufacturing industry. The second aim is to enhance the contribution to each party’s education (…). The third aim is to contribute to society both on the regional and national scales in terms of economic growth, job creation, and environmental sustainability.

5.1.2. Desired Propulsion

5.1.3. undesired propulsion, 5.2. life cycle costing, life cycle management, and other practices, 6. concluding discussion, 6.1. theoretical contributions, 6.2. managerial implications, 6.3. limitations and future research, acknowledgments, conflicts of interest.
