We are supporting a healthcare domain vendor located in the US. We get data from various domains, such as health insurance. We have member data, provider data, and consumer data. We also have client-related stuff and broker-related commission data.
We get the data from these domains, and after receiving it, we apply the transformation rules, such as joints. We also do the standardization of data by formatting and doing field validations, such as formatting the date field and doing data and time validations. We also do other normal transformations with some business logic. After applying all this, we send the data to the business.
