    In the spotlight

    Merative Cúram v8.2.1.0 is now available!

    Documentation for Platform and Insurance Affordability-Generated Tasks and Notifications

    With this documentation, customers can understand which out-of-the-box (OOTB) tasks and notifications are generated by Cúram, identify which are relevant to their business workflows and configure the system to generate only the tasks and notifications that they require, thereby providing transparency and control. This allows customers to streamline the generation of Tasks and Notifications, bringing efficiencies to the management of tasks. 

    Security Bulletins and documentation for system-generated Tasks & Notifications are now available via the Merative Support Portal.

    Support for Amazon EKS Production Workloads

    Cúram significantly enhances its containerization strategy by extending support to additional cloud-native Kubernetes platforms, offering customers greater flexibility in how they deploy and manage their environments.  
     
    Previously limited to Red Hat® OpenShift® and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for production workloads, Cúram 8.2.1 now includes full production support for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This marks a major milestone for organizations leveraging AWS infrastructure, enabling them to run workloads in a scalable, secure, and fully managed Kubernetes environment. 

     

    Introduction of IBM MQ Containers for AKS and EKS

    Cúram expands its cloud-native capabilities by introducing support for IBM MQ as containers on both Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).  
     
    Previously, IBM MQ deployments for AKS and EKS were supported only on virtual machines (VMs). With this release, organizations can now leverage MQ container images directly in their Kubernetes environments, enabling a more consistent, automated, and scalable approach to managing messaging infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. 

    Enhanced Verification Proof Sharing

    The Evidence Broker provides the capability to share verification proof between a source case and a target case. When verification proof is provided for evidence on the source case, that documentation is copied and applied to the corresponding evidence on the target case at the point of evidence activation.  
     
    In this release, caseworkers can now add verification proof post evidence activation on any case type, e.g., product delivery case, integrated case, application case, either manually or by accepting documents submitted by the citizen. The verification proof will automatically be shared to the linked evidence on configured target case, eliminating the need to manually capture the verification proof again and reducing the risk of errors and inconsistencies

    Listing of Cúram courses with the abstract for each lesson and exercise

    New Courses for Cúram v8.x:

    • CUR090 – Merative Cúram for Developers (ADE) 8.X: This self-paced course provides learners with a technical understanding of the Cúram Application Development Environment (ADE). This course provides a solid grounding in the Cúram model-driven development approach and ADE. It presents an architectural overview of the Cúram application and introduces ADE features and tools for modeling, coding, building, and troubleshooting applications. During the course, learners will design and implement a simple end-to-end application using many ADE client and server features.
    • CUR091 – Merative Cúram for Developers (Customization) 8.X: This course introduces learners to the techniques that are used to customize Cúram out-of-the-box (OOTB) solutions for Cúram implementation projects. The course describes the approach for customizing OOTB applications compliantly and how to customize client and server artifacts, including source code and non-source code artifacts. The course then outlines how REST and web services are used to integrate with external applications and how custom features can be implemented using events, deferred processes, and batch processes. Finally, the course outlines the approaches for localizing, supporting, and upgrading Cúram. During the course, learners will also perform impact analysis on OOTB applications and implement compliant customizations.
