Case Study: Department of Veterans Affairs achieves a standard application architecture with Merlin International

Department of Veterans Affairs - Customer Case Study

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans Benefits Administration needed to bring order to a fragmented web environment made up of unstructured browser-based applications running on multiple platforms. Merlin International was brought in to help establish a standard browser-based application architecture, along with basic application servers and an integrated development environment to support future web roadmap components.

Merlin International architected and developed the VBA Application Software Architecture (ASA), creating best practices and guidelines for Java, J2EE, WebLogic, Oracle, Tuxedo, and Internet protocols. The solution provided critical guidance for high-profile projects, supported code reviews and governance, and became a living blueprint for application design and development across VBA’s Software Development Centers and Benefits Enterprise Platform.
