Abstract: A system is configured to allow a business user to define insurance products based upon reusable product/offering definitions. The reusable product/offerings definitions may include reusable insurance based components and templates, which permit a business user of the software to develop and configure insurance products based upon a hierarchical set of insurance product components and insurance product templates. In addition, the system combines componentization, flexible granularity and reusable product structures to permit a user to more rapidly and predictably generate insurance product configurations and flexibly tailor the insurance products or offerings to meet a specific client or market need.

Abstract: A system and operations include software, servers, templates, databases, and user interfaces for initializing and deploying insurance products and offerings into test runtime environments, modeling runtime environments, and commercial product runtime environments. The system may process an insurance product offering having insurance product components based on a package manifest. The package manifest provides executables and information that enables execution of the insurance product components in conjunction with third party engine servers to access third party and/or legacy insurance related data and systems.

Abstract: A system and operations include software, servers, templates, databases, and user interfaces for initializing and deploying insurance products and offerings into test runtime environments, modeling runtime environments, and commercial product runtime environments. The system may process an insurance product offering having insurance product components based on a package manifest. The package manifest may be generated prior to deployment based on arrangement of the insurance product components in an insurance product framework of the insurance product offering and third part engine servers executable in conjunction with the insurance product components. As a prerequisite to generation of the package manifest, the system may perform a coherency check of the insurance product offering to confirm compliance with a set of coherency check rules.

Abstract: In one example, a system to integrate a first application with a second application may associate a component type in the first application with an engine object type in the second application. The component type and the engine object type may be program object types. The system may determine a hierarchical structure that includes an engine object of the engine object type from configurable rules that are associated with the component type. The system may initiate a copy of the engine object in the second application in response to receipt of a request to copy a component of the component type in the first application.

Abstract: A computer program is provided for developing a component based software package. The program includes a data component that stores, retrieves and manipulates data utilizing a plurality of functions. Also provided is an adapter component that transmits and receives data to/from the data component. A business component is included that serves as a data cache and includes logic for manipulating the data. A controller component is also included which is adapted to handle events generated by a user utilizing the business component to cache data and the adapter component to ultimately persist data to a data repository.
