CEBIP (Customer Experience and Business Improvement Program) is designed as a platform for accelerated customer experience (PACE), addressing the need for rapid deployment of Sales Finance Business Unit (SFBU) solutions across diverse geographic regions. The core objective is to reduce time-to-market and minimize localization and customization efforts.
Key Functionalities
CEBIP achieves this through the following key functionalities:
- Reusable API and Component Library: Provides a set of pre-built, customizable APIs and components that can be readily used to address common business use cases.
- API Orchestration Layer: Acts as a central mediator for API interactions between various systems and users, including:
- PACE users
- Dealers
- Other internal users
- Regional systems
- Legacy systems
- Integration with Regional/Legacy Systems: Handles integration with regional and legacy systems through the orchestration layer. This includes:
- Direct API integration where available.
- Data extraction to a staging area and creation of wrapper APIs when direct integration is not feasible.
- Reduced Localization and Customization: By abstracting the complexities of regional API integrations, CEBIP significantly reduces the need for custom code and configuration in regional solutions.
- Centralized Management: The CEBIP regional integration team manages all integrations with regional core systems, ensuring consistency and maintainability.
