A
Hey
everyone
welcome
to
another
episode
of
the
on
that
net
show
and
we're
still
here
at
the
Caribbean
Developers
Conference
in
the
Dominican
Republic,
but
we're
talking
to
developers
that
are
local
to
the
country,
I'm
learning
just
about
you
know
all
the
cool
things
that
they're
doing
with
some
of
the
Microsoft
technology
that
we
built.
So
my
good
friend
here.
Why
don't
you
introduce
yourself
first,
a
little
bit
well,
my.
B
Name
is
Maya:
Mendez
I've
been
a
developer
for
Microsoft
technologies
for
about
20
years,
yeah
also
I've
been
MVP
and
two
times
nice,
yeah
2009-2011
and
today
we'll
be
talking
a
little
bit
about
this
last
project.
We've
been
working
with
it's
name
is
contigo
yeah
contigo,
a
platform
that
makes
all
the
communication
between
financial
institutions
and
insurance
carriers.
Okay,
and
with
all
the
efficiency
we're
bringing
to
people,
we
can
lower
the
cost
of
insurance
policies
an
hour
and
a
half,
so
this
means
more
opportunities,
so
the
people.
B
B
Thing
is
they
don't
have
the
culture,
they
don't
get.
The
information
most
of
the
insurance
companies
here
are
more
focus
and
a
come
here.
Look.
This
is
my
company.
This
is
my
building.
How
big
is
they?
Don't
they
don't
treat
the
information
to
give
the
real
information
to
people
that
what
they
insurance
do
for
them
and
what
the
real
power
is
on
it
and
that's
what
contigo
really
wanna
show
them
sure.
A
B
B
You
know
in
terms
of
where
and
then
after
you
log
into
software,
you
get
like
palette
or
all
the
products
you
can
gift
offer
to
your
customers,
and
when
you
offer
this
product
to
the
to
your
customers,
then
you
get
a
special
price,
because
we
are
like
an
umbrella
yeah.
It's
not
the
same
for
you
to
buy
insurance
for
one
person
that
will
get
by
it
in
the
name
of
five
six
financial
institutions.
So
you
get
like
a
big
umbrella
and
with
all
these
people
you
can
get
better
prices.
So
it's
like
network
economy.
A
B
A
B
B
A
I
got
it
so
the
way
I'm
kind
of
hearing
it,
so
your
application
is
split
up
into
different
tiers.
You
have
like
the
front-end,
like
you
mentioned
exactly
you
got
like
a
middle
tier
right.
Essentially,
that's
your
API
layer.
That's
how
I'm
guessing
you're
using
a
lot
of
cool
things
like
swagger
and
is
probably
some
security
components
to
it.
Yeah.
B
Goals-
and
we
got
this
cool
tool
that
helped
us
work
with
a
with
the
API
that
the
smashball
cool
that
a
couple
of
the
developers
to
find
out
what's:
gold,
which
the
documentation
that
the
API
need
so
anytime.
You
need
and
and
often
give
you
all
the
information
for
right
for
you.
What
you
need
for
that.
B
B
B
A
B
You
know
that
when
we
working
with
insurance,
we're
working
with
sensible
data
for
and
customer
sure
we
for
some
of
the
standards
that
were
using,
we
use
in
the
SS
for
protect
the
financial
information.
We
got
to
encrypt
this
information
and
and
provide
security
for
the
customers,
and
all
of
this
is
done
with
Azure
ball
and
all
day.
B
B
We
are
regulated
because
we
do
the
we
do
the
veiling
and
we
do
the
processing
of
the
credit-card
information,
so
we
gotta
be
PCI
compliant
and
most
of
it,
because
all
partners
are
or
insurance
or
are
banks,
and
both
of
them
are
regulated
and
we
gotta
also
apply
with
the
local
regulations.
So
it's
a
hard
work
to
do
with
a
with.
A
I
think
when
you're
in
that
type
of
environment,
it
becomes
very
important
for
you
to
have
very
a
very
controlled
environment.
Right,
like
you
have
to
have.
You
know,
hands
and
feet
into
everything,
but
you
have
to
know
where
all
the
components
are
coming
from,
where
they're
going,
how
the
information
is
flowing
back
and
for
we
gotta.
B
Have
a
hard
track
of
the
information
right?
Actually
we
we
do
that
also
with
the
information
into
our
application,
but
the
information,
internal
infrastructure,
yeah
and
most
of
the
compliance
is
about
who
is
looking
what
and
and
who's
taking
the
information
what
they
do
with
the
information
who
move
the
information,
because
today's
days
is
the
most
important
asset.
You
know
the
information
is
these
days
money
and
you
gotta
take
a
lot
of
control
over
it.
Gotcha
actually.
A
Important
is
it
for
you,
because
again,
we
spoke
a
little
bit
about
like
how
important
compliance
isn't
for
you.
So
how
does
that
affect
your
decision
when
you
talk
about
going
from
infrastructure
as
a
service
to
adopting
something
like
platform
as
a
service,
because
you're
using
VM
today,
right,
like
you,
you're,
completely
choosing
to
run
and
manage
your
VMs?
The
way
that
you
want
to
well.
B
Actually
continue
burn
a
business
to
business
strategy,
yes
from
one
institution
to
another
institution,
but
right
now
we
are
moving
to
a
strategy
of
business
to
consumer.
You
don't
B
to
C
and
the
B
to
C
we're
working
on
our
micro
services
strategy
and
the
micro
services
strategy
is
going
to
give
you
this
approach.
The.
B
Have
to
do
tunneling
with
them,
you
got
to
do
peer-to-peer.
You
got
to
go
to
a
specific
components
that
are
from
this
financial
institution
that
must
be
installed
in
a
machine
that,
if
I,
have
a
strategy
of
software
or
as
a
service
I'm
not
able
to
to
implement
this
solution.
But
this
is
not
a
limitation
of
our
software
was
not
a
limitation
of
our
platform.
It's
more
a
compliance
for
business
partners
that
most
of
them
because
of
the
regulation
they
have
as
financial
institution,
will
be
more
in
control.
B
A
A
By
step,
except
by
7,
but
because
of
that,
we
still
have
to
meet
the
customers
where
they
are
your,
and
so
we
have
to
have
that
flexibility.
Whether
it's
using
you
know,
maybe
some
of
the
stuff
runs.
You
know
endless
servers
in
their
in
their
hosting
place,
and
maybe
some
of
it
runs
in
the
cloud
right
and
now
you
to
communicate
back
and
forth.
But.
