  a	
  RESTful

  leveraged	
  the

Modernized Claims Service
The	
  “APIKit

  handles	
  
incoming	
  RESTful

  and	
  routes	
  to	
  the	
  
appropriate

  a	
  drop-­‐down

  access	
  a	
  
web	
  service.	
  
The	
  datamapper	
  
components	
  translate	
  the	
  
web

  call	
  data	
  into
