British Columbia (Canada)Social welfare modernizationRequirements• Better tools and "simplification" of business processes• Replacement of obsolete, aging and inflexible legacy systems• Provide better integration of services and protection of children• Deliver a single view of the citizen across servicesImplementation• Phase 1: Two OPA rulebases integrated with Siebel are now live: • One rulebase receives data from a Siebel form, and uses rules to determine the worker/organizational approval level required to issue the form and returns the result to Siebel • The other rulebase is called from Siebel, then OPA interactively conducts a worker interview to determine if the applicant has immediate needs, is exempt from a three week work search, determines the applicant employability screening score, and determines if the applicant has employment obligations. It can also be used to identify services that a person might qualify for, based on their needs and life events.• Phase 2: OPA will determine client eligibility and benefit calculations. This rulebase will address 300 pages of legislated rules, plus Provincial policy and work practices.

Three Options to Automate Using OPA Standalone interactive advice from OPA to guide people through complex and difficult- to-understand rules and processes Leverage OPA as an interactive advice- giving front-end to Legacy systems Replace aged legacy rules with Oracle Policy Automation, and build new rules for those systems in OPA

“The OPA technology is the most exciting and innovative technology currently within the HMRC Estate. Buildingon the success of this project, the key priority now is to grow our rule development capability and to use thetechnology and methods to reduce fraud and errors.”, Steve Lamey, Director General, HMRC, 3rd December 2009.“The Rules Based Service is friendly to use and is much quicker to navigate through than the current guidanceprovided. I particularly like the new Tax Credit calculator which is much quicker to operate” Contact Centre Adviser at HMRC, 3rd December 2009.“It has not been necessary to sell the use of the Rules Based Service to advisers as they have instantly taken toit. They have been provided with a small amount of training and have needed very little other support since then.The streamlining of the process seems to indicate that advisers are now more likely to use and follow theguidance than they did previously, a great result!” Helen Parkinson, HMRC Project Manager, 3rd December 2009.The new system empowered subject matter experts to develop rules-based applications directly fromcomplex legislative text, policy documents, and regulation—eliminating scripting or programming andreducing reliance on technical experts and, ultimately, reducing the time needed to transform policydocuments into active forms.” John Drann, Finance Director, Wage and Income: Strategy and Finance (formerly ITLA / COLDS R2 Project Manager), Internal Revenue Service
