Java/Spring Boot Dev

DDP (Digital Data Platform) is a new architecture solution that unlocks commonly used business data that is held in Ameren legacy systems of record (SOR). DDP is an event streaming pipeline that will make it easier to transmit, standardize, and consume data across core Ameren systems with a very high level of performance, scalability, reliability, availability, usability, extensibility, and maintainability.

Fundamental enabler across multiple lines of business as source of truth.

Reduced enterprise technical debt and increased IT agility by enhancing our ability to respond faster to changing technology demands.

Improved customer identification and engagement across channels by improving data quality and availability.

Enabler for visibility and predictive analytics of a customer Outage, Billing and Payments.

Improved availability and resiliency by eliminating single point of failure, thereby reducing customer self-service impacts due to system outages.

Consolidated and rationalized integration architecture implementation across disparate digital assets in a common, standardized, consumable way reducing O&M costs.

Transform and deliver customer features and programs at scale.

Deliver a highly-engaging customer experience by designing an innovative, omni-channel experience.

Enable customer-facing applications to leverage real-time access to accurate, curated, and enriched customer information.

Delivery of a modern event driven data platform with a very high level of performance, scalability, reliability, availability, usability, extensibility, and maintainability.

Enablement of highly accurate, real time, enriched, accessible customer information for use in customer facing and internal applications.
