12 Web Services Access Platform Insurance & Retirement Services (I&RS) SIFMA Operations Conference April 27, 2009 Presented by : Jamie Taylor

13 Opportunity Overview DTCC I&RS is evaluating the opportunity to provide a centralized, standardized web services messaging platform for industry data sourcing and transaction processing. - I&RS is proposing a multi-faceted business plan to introduce a phased implementation of services including: Web accessibility solutions Robust real-time web services processing solutions Comprehensive data warehousing solutions Initial focus: - Determine leveragability of existing web architecture at customer and vendor shops - Identify opportunities to further support industry STP initiatives - Identify channel and product-line expansion opportunities - Identify opportunities for increased adoption of existing services - Define industry priority for various proposed services - Produce 2009 development and implementation plan by 2Q09 for validation by SAB and partners 13

14 Categories Defined Web accessibililty Web accessibility solutions Web accessibility options will provide non-integrated, web-accessible, front-end solutions for distribution participants to access DTCC I&RS processing solutions (e.g. L&A Access, BIN/REP). Underlying technology for actual DTCC processing may or may not be real-time messaging solutions eligible for true web services (e.g. flat file, batch processing may power the engine behind the web portal presentation layer offered). Purpose of providing Access platform solutions for existing and new services is to provide distributors and their representatives a no/low-development, low-cost platform to electronically process insurance & retirement transactions. Access platform solutions will conform to industry standard usage and best practice protocol, and provide distributors and carriers with transactions that conform to transactional processing expectations. Web Access solutions will be available to member participants as well as third party participants through links to the DTCC Access portal DTCC I&RS will continue to work diligently with solution partners and distributors working to build comprehensive, more robust solutions. 14

15 Categories Defined Web services Web services processing solutions Web services solutions will provide an underlying base architecture of true real-time web services messaging, coupled by a complex layer of customer accessibility options Accessibility options will include the DTCC Access platform, vendor applications to access real-time messaging calls, and custom built distributor platform solutions that through DTCC access trading partner systems directly. For each service, DTCC will define a superset of required data elements to collect from the information or transaction requestor and pass through to respondent (most often carrier) website. Respondent will utilize the data passed to process and compose response based on existing or newly developed call routines at its own shop. - Request / response messaging will be industry defined standards. - Existing standards, if applicable will be leveraged. Web services will include pre- and post-issue processing solutions such as: Customer Account Inquiry (account balances, rates of return, allocations by asset class, transaction history, etc.) Demographic changes (address, name, contact information) In-force service feature maintenance (dollar cost averaging, asset reallocation) Financial transactions (withdrawals, fund transfers (may include block trades), premium additions) Pending case status (replacements, new business, post-issue transactions) Pre-replacement inquiry (inquiry to ceding carrier for old contract information) Can-sell appointment authorization Sales illustrations Customer statements (returned via PDF/other) 15

16 Categories Defined Data Warehousing Comprehensive data warehousing solutions Data warehousing will combine the underlying real-time messaging architecture of its web services platform with a robust data storage facility for upload, maintenance and retrieval of commonly accessed industry data, such as product profiles (PPfA) Data warehouse opportunities may exist for the following: - Product Profile (may include a comparison component for real time pre-sale analysis FINRA requirement fulfillment) - License/Appointment (for centralized validation/authorization for sales and post-sale transactions order entry platforms are key target) - Forms library (pre-sale, sale and post-sale) 16

18 Value Proposition Client - Standard messaging solutions - Secure infrastructure for non-public information (NPI) - Business continuity surety triple redundancy - One source for distributor requests for transactions and supporting data - One source for consumer access to data (distributor, regulatory, vendor, other) - Ability to leverage carrier web services investments into centralized processing solutions - Cost containment (eliminate multiple, non-standard proprietary feeds; at-cost business model) Industry - Security of data and business continuity - Utilization of industry defined standard messaging solutions - Governance and oversight to industry-defined data conformity best practices - One source for all consumers of industry shared data DTCC - A comprehensive web services platform will take I&RS to the next generation of data processing, moving beyond traditional flat-file batch processing to interactive, real-time web services solutions. Industry is moving toward real-time messaging solutions, and the new processing platform will provide a logical source for commonly exchanged data. 18

19 Strategic Fit Strategic Fit of the Opportunity - Current market volatility has resulted in development cut backs. The web services platform, including front-end accessibility, will provide users of services a potential no-cost, minimal development opportunity to implement STP solutions. - Carriers already have messaging solutions in place for various transactions on their websites that can be leveraged for some of the proposed transactions, and distributors are very interested in consolidating the look and feel of processing those transactions through one standard way. Strategic Fit for Business Unit(s) - I&RS is the defacto hub for annuity processing and is a natural fit to provide a centralized web services processing solution. - Broadens the I&RS product suite and compliments existing services, providing non-integrated accessibility at no cost for existing services at as well as new. - Broadens client base including traditional I&RS customers (carriers, large BDs) and opens the door for expansion into IBD and Bank channels as well as non-traditional consumers of data such as FINRA, Morningstar, Lipper, RIIA, and the community of vendor organizations supporting insurance business. Strategic Fit for DTCC - Broadens product suite by providing accessibility options for broad distribution audience, supporting both existing and new Insurance and Retirement solutions for pre- and post-sale transactions. - Broadens client base by providing no-cost accessibility tools for distribution and non-traditional consumers of Insurance and Retirement services, and enabling third party platforms to plug in to all services through the Access platform or directly. 19

20 Accessibility DTCC will evaluate a variety of flexible access options for consumers of web services: Distribution/Consumer Model 1 - Basic model will operate in the same manner as LNA Access. Back office users would be granted access to DTCC portal. User entitlements will grant access to one or more transaction services on the platform. This would be a non-integrated solution for distributors DTCC Access Platform Distribution/Consumer Model 2 - Extended basic Dist model Back would use I&RS Dist platform Back and access Dist Back directly through the DTCC Portal. User access would be managed at the FA/FA assistant level and associated Office with customer A accounts. Office BThis solution Office would C be a non-integrated solution for distributors. DTCC Access Platform FA/Asst A FA/Asst B FA/Asst C 20

21 Accessibility DTCC will evaluate a variety of flexible access options for consumers of web services: Distribution/Consumer Model 3 - Single sign-on model would allow users to sign on to their own distribution platform for validation and authentication and pass on to DTCC. DTCC will validate credentials and pass through to carrier. This solution would be a non-integrated solution for distributors, but eliminate multiple sets of sign on credentials. DTCC Access Platform Distributor Platform (single sign on only) Distribution/Consumer Model 4 - Integrated model would provide distributors the ability to utilize their existing distribution platform to send messaging requests through the DTCC web services platform. The distributor would provide the front end entry screens for such requests and compile the standard data messages for delivery to carriers, bypassing the DTCC front end/presentation layer. DTCC would validate user credentials passed through from distributor. FA/ Asst A FA/Asst B FA/Asst C DTCC IPS System (direct) Distributor Platform FA/Asst A FA/Asst B FA/Asst C 21
