Abstract
Many larger companies have offices located around the world.
This can create challenges for
employees to stay connected with each other. A common
platform is needed for the companies to share
news, department updates, and other vital information. An
intranet system enables companies to have a
common platform where employees can stay connected even
though they are in different places. Global

TPA is a large company and needs a common platform such as
the intranet system. This system was
developed using web-based application and is monitored and
maintained regularly. This system has many
benefits and makes it easier for the employees to stay
connected, especially because it is easy to use by
everyone. Even though the outcome was positive from this
system, there are many potential areas in the
system that can be furthered. This system is a rudimentary step
for bigger companies and more research
would help companies communicate easily and efficiently.

Introduction
Global TPA offers healthcare insurance through Freedom
Health, Optimum care and
Americas1st choice company. Freedom Healthcare Company
offers Medicare and Medicaid
health care insurance. The company has multiple locations: the
corporate office, HR office, and
customer service/ call centers in India. All departments are in
different locations.
Many organizations need a common platform where everybody
can access information,
share information, and/or get required information. Intranet
system can be used as a common
platform. Simply defined, an intranet system is a secure website
that contains private information

intended for a specific audience of organization. The Intranet
system is the best platform,
because without login they can access all forms, document,
power point presentation, videos, and
applications of government site. This system shows all
departments company holiday’s list,
Special offers, Frequently Asked Question (FAQ), compliance,
policy and procedure, training,
forms, news, products and important external website links.
Because employees for Freedom
Healthcare are in different places, the Intranet will provide a
facility to see and get information.
Employees can download forms, important document, event
information, and videos.
Statement of the Problem
Global TPA is a very fast growing company with offices in
many different locations. They don’t

have a common system for employees to access and share
information about the company,
Medicare, Medicaid, compliance, policy and procedure and
training. Instead, employees must
contact other departments and/or coworkers for such
information. This becomes an issue as it
takes away from employee productivity. The intranet system
will help the company and its
employees operate more efficiently.

Literature Review
Literature review is a combination of synthesis and summaries
of information from

different sources that is associated with this topic. These
sources can vary anywhere from books,
articles, journals, blogs, other web-pages, and e-books. Many of
these sources had the same
problem, which was the lack of a common platform for larger
companies. One solution that was
common in these sources was the use of an internal system for
companies. There are some
existing systems that allow for internal communication and
sharing. Systems such as SharePoint
and Biz talk server are often used by companies, however, these
intranet solutions are costly and
require skilled developers.
Project geeks source shows a project that uses Java for intranet
system. In this project,
employees were able to privately communicate with each other

without the internet connection.
Many employees often use other outside server such as g-talk,
yahoo messenger, however, with
intranet system, employees can communicate with each other
using a common platform. This
also allows companies to have a professional environment when
using intra-communication
outlets. The system was accessed using a unique IP address and
the same idea would be
incorporated in the intranet system used by Global TPA.
One of the problems with existing system is that sending
documents to one department
from another can be time-consuming. Employees have to
manually send documentation and
having an intranet system would allow for secure sharing. This
problem in existing system is

taken into account and would be incorporated in the intranet
system for Global TPA.
Objective
The main goal and objective was to develop an Intranet system
to help Global TPA
employees. The employees can share and access the company’s
information and other crucial
3
information while being able to connect to all other departments
through the intranet portal. This
allowed them to work more efficiently through a single source
application.
Methodology
Deciding on the correct methodology is important for the
project to be successfully completed on

time. This decision depends on the company’s policy, budget,
culture, team member knowledge,
and comfort level. Waterfall is a standard methodology to
implement software projects and it is
easy to use by all team members. A technical feasibility study
and an economic feasibility study
are also essential, and the company used the .Net MVC
technology for this project. The company
did not have .Net MVC expert developer member in the team,
however, the team learned quickly
and adjusted readily. The Intranet portal was very inexpensive
when compared to other
readymade software available on the market, especially since
the company is using their own
internal resources. This type of application system’s
development life cycle (SDLC, Figure 1) is

divided into 8 steps. The project scope is limited to the five
departments and eight functions of
the organization. This portal can be accessed by company
employees using company’s network
anywhere at any time and also from different locations using the
company’s VPN.
Project Conception and Initiation
The project is examined carefully to determine the costs and
benefits in order to predict the
project’s duration. In this stage, the feasibility of the project is
determined through discussion
with different department stakeholders. Once stakeholders
agree with the terms of the project, a
project charter, outlining the purpose and requirements, of the
project is created. This step does
not focus on technical requirements.

Figure 1 Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Diagram
Planning
The planning phase is essential for a successful project. For this
project planning, the S.M.A.R.T.
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely)
method is utilized. During this phase,
cost, quality, resources, and time are defined along with the
baseline and performance measures.
These performance measures are created using scope, schedule,
and cost of a project. This step
would also be used to determine the type of hardware, software,
and HR needed for this project.
Also, the type of architecture, technology, and database is
decided in this step (Table 1).

Table 1 Planning step
Requirement Gathering and Analysis
In this step, the business analyst gathers the requirements from
business users. A business analyst
must set up meetings with the business owner and asks the
universal questions: when, who, why,
and how. If stake-holders are not available, then telephone
conference or a JAD session must be
arranged. The analyst should use a tool case to understand the
requirements and then conduct a
gap analysis and reengineering of process, if required. When
these requirements are complex,

they must be divided into sections to make it easy to
understand. The analyst would then create a
use case to understand the current system and explain the
proposed system design. Then the
functional and non-functional requirements must be gathered.
Functional requirements include
6
all business rules and non-functional requirements include
access to web server, database server
and security.
All department supervisors, including administrators, can post
and remove news from intranet
portal using intranet portal management page. All news has a
start date and an end date, with
start dates matching with the current date will show automatic

automatically removed from the news
and public/private section. All department supervisors could
post forms, policies, and
procedures. Training documents are kept in a folder that will
automatically show on the intranet
portal. To add, update, or remove FAQ from intranet system, the
department would submit a
SYS Aid ticket and assign it to the intranet portal admin so
admin will inactive using SQL query
and assign back ticket to use with completed and user will
verify and close the ticket. Error and
exception handling will be done through a custom error page.

building. It is very user friendly
and has multi-user comprehensive tools.
Visual studio 2013 is used for this project because the company
has a license available for it.
Visual studio 2013 allows for C++, C#, VB.NET, F#, WCF,
Web service, LINQ, Entity
Framework, Design Pattern and JavaScript, JQuery, JSON,
Razor, HTML, XML, XLTS, CSS.
These languages and scripts, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) are
helpful to design a web-page.
The company will use MVC architecture and language C# and
Razor for web-page design. Also,
JavaScript, JQuery, and JSON would be used for client side
validation. CSS was used for web
page color, font size, style, and alignment. Images were used to
make the system interactive and

user-friendly. Visual Studio 2013 had powerful tools to develop
any kind of application. It
allowed multiple frameworks, both old and new. The company
used framework 4.5 because it
supports all kinds of browser.
MVC 4.0 (Model View and Controller), MVC Model View and
controller was used because they
are very tightly bound with each other and the page is light
because it has no view state. This
model has all fields and can define required fields validation,
minimum, maximum, data type and
regular expression. The View was used for design web-page and
is also used with Razor, CSS,
24
JavaScript, JQuery and JSON for apply style and client side

validation. View model showed and
accepted input from users. Controller is tightly bind with view
so view sent valid request to
controller using WCF web service and controller will send
request to SQL server database and
SQL server send back response to controller and controller will
send back to view. Web.Cinfig
file is xml file, it is case-sensitive, and stores SQL server
connection information. MVC allowed
shared folders with layout which was used to set application
header, footer, and content. Hidden
field is used for temporary data and session to pass information
from one page to another.
Security
MVC was used because it is very secure and certified. One can
send and receive data using

serialization and deserialization. The department uses passport
authentication, and form
authentication with active directory user (LDAP) to access site.
Role based access to the intranet
system is allowed, so unauthorized user cannot access the
application. The document full-path is
not shown while downloading the document.
Web Server
Intranet system is going to deploy on the IIS 7.0 which is very
secure and support HTTP,
HTTPS, SMTP, FTP, FTPS. Intranet system is going https to
use SSL certification to make more
secure.
Database Server

Microsoft SQL server database was an excellent RDMS
database because it is reliable and
secure. It is a user-friendly database solution. SQL server
management studio allows user to T-
SQL statement. SQL 2008 is offering SQL Database, SSIS,
SSRS and SSAS tools. It has SQL
profiler so it is very easy to trace store procedure and SQL. The
company created an index on
25
table as and when required. The company used nolock command
to all sql select statement to
avoid dead lock and better performance.
SQL server 2008 R2 was used for Intranet system. CRUD
operation was used for Intranet
system. The department will create tables, store procedure,

functions, and trigger. It also allowed
the company to create ER diagram of system (Figure 4). A store
procedure was created and it
allowed group of logical statements into procedure and then was
selected, inserted, updated
and/or deleted through store procedure. In the Intranet system,
any record from the table was not
deleted. Soft delete using IsActive flag is used. If IsActive flag
had true value then it is active
record, otherwise it is an inactive record. All exception and
error would be stored into logger
table with an error message. The department used no Lock with
all SQL select statement for
better performance and avoiding locking. Exact parameter data
type was used and length was
assigned to sql local variable before any type of operation to
avoid SQL injection. All tables had

an identity column as primary and detail table has foreign key
to build relation and avoid
inconsistence data. The company did not use a unique, check,
not null constrain for required
column. A default constrain for inset date time was used.
Intranet tables are normalized so
developer had to use join to pull data but performance will be
the best.
Project Management
For this, agile methodology was used to develop Intranet
system. Daily scrum call was set-up to
get status of development of Intranet system. The project was
closely monitored to ensure
delivery on time. Impact on deliverable was also determined
according to the progress of the

project. If someone finished a task early, then they would be
asked to help with other things to
26
meet deadline earlier. If anybody was facing any kind of
challenges, then they discussed it in
meetings. JIRA project management tool was used to track all
project activity.

Development
Development stage was very crucial for project because the

project is dependent on the
development team. Development time developers faced many
unexpected changes because of
technology. MVC was a new technology for the team and the
team had never worked on MVC.
MVC is not event based development so all developer had to re-
learn and start development.
MVC was very structured and light weight because it did not
have view state.
Developers started the design, and developed Intranet
application using Visual Studio 2013 and
TFS 2013 as source and version control. They used MVC 4 C#,
as language, Razor, WCF,
Generics, LINQ Cascading Style sheet (CSS), JQuery, JSON
and AJAX, SQL 2008 Database.
They used coding standard Pascal case for class name, method
name, function name, and camel

case for variable and parameters. Common functions create
public class so other developer and
module can access it. They are responsible for create store
procedure to retrieve data from
database. Inline SQL statements are not allowed for security.
They have to catch exception and
store into logger table and error file so easy read and understand
error. They should not allow
unauthorized and unauthentic access to the application. After
completing, the development team
lead reviewed the code and checked whether developers had
followed coding standard and
comments. Developers did a unit test and recorded the result
into file. As soon as development
completed successfully deployed the code and database, they
sent it into test environment for

testing.
