Interface (BEI). BEI is developed using Java stored procedures residing inside ORACLE (8i)
database. XML and XML Schemas are the standards used for mapping and validating the
data between both CMS and BES respectively. These applications encapsulate the core
business process and provide simplified workflow to WebMD. These applications are used
extensively across WebMD offices and are playing significant role in contributing to the
business growth. This system is in production.
