Dinnaco - Exchange Calculator - iPad App Module Architecture

Challenge Overview

Welcome to the Dinnaco - Exchange Calculator - iPad App Module Architecture challenge! In this challenge, we are looking to define the module architecture for the new Private Exchange Sustainability Calculator iPad application.

Project Overview

The client for this project has an existing Excel-based application that helps organizations determine what solution is best for their healthcare needs. They have decided to convert this Excel-based application into a new iPad application!

For this challenge, we need you to design the architecture for the new Private Exchange Sustainability Calculator iPad application.  A design concept challenge has already been completed that shows how the new application will work.  

We look forward to seeing your architecture designs!

 

Project Description:

The client for this project has an existing Excel-based application that helps organizations determine what solution is best for their healthcare needs. This application helps organizations determine what solution is best for their healthcare needs. Through a series of questions a user of an organization is able to quickly determine if his/her organization is a good fit for a Private Healthcare Exchange. Dinnaco provides this tool as a service to its clients and is looking to improve the user experience and refresh the overall look and feel.  

The client has decided to convert this existing application into a new iPad application.  We have already run a design concepts challenge and the screens for the new application are complete (attached). 

For this challenge, we need to define the module architecture for this new iPad app.
