# SAIF.Business overview

> **Documentation context:** Packaged Component (NuGet)

`SAIF.Business` is a large BOF business library that combines Oracle-backed business objects, claim/security services, reusable contact abstractions, and cross-application helper services used by claims, policy, imaging, EFT, and reference-data workflows.

## Purpose
- Provide BOF business objects and helper services for employee, claim, policy, imaging, EFT, translation, and contact-management scenarios.
- Centralize reusable contact/value-object behavior, shared result contracts, and code-map lookups consumed by higher-level SAIF applications.

## Responsibilities
- Retrieve employee, help-text, language-translation, and output-address BOF objects from Oracle-backed sources.
- Enforce claim-scoped authorization, security-flag handling, and external-visibility checks.
- Provide imaging, EFT, policy, unit-stat, globalization, MCO, and bank-validation helper workflows.
- Publish reusable contact/value-object, enum, and mapping abstractions for downstream consumers.

## Key components
- `ClaimServices`, `clsClaimSecurity`, `ImageServices`, `EFTServices`, `PolicyServices`: claim, security, imaging, EFT, and policy helper services.
- `clsEmployeeData*`, `clsEmployeeLeave*`, `clsHelpText*`, `clsLanguageTranslation*`, `clsSAIFOutputAddress`: BOF objects and collections.
- `clsAddress`, `clsAddressStructure`, `clsPhone`, `clsName`, `clsEmailAddress`: reusable contact/value objects.
- `mdlCodeMaps`, `Enumerations`, `GlobalizationServices`, `MCOInfo`: shared reference-data and lookup layer.
