EXAMPLE ManuScripts™

Intelligent XML documents that can define all aspects of an insurance product.

What is an EXAMPLE ManuScript? An EXAMPLE ManuScript is an XML document that contains a company's insurance product definition – the data elements, the rating algorithms, the rules for rating and underwriting, workflow, role-based context, and documentation.

Many of today's business processes revolve around data. For instance, the insurance industry deals with data about an insured in the form of a policy or quote. The data that an industry maintains needs to be documented and validated by rules and checks. EXAMPLE ManuScripts define these rules and checks, as well as content, values, and processes needed to manage this data.

The data to be processed is another XML file, called a Data Document. The Data Document will represent the actual information needed by a business process. For example, the Data Document could represent an insurance policy or a quote request for a client. An EXAMPLE ManuScript will define the rules and values to populate or validate a Data Document.

EXAMPLE ManuScripts also provide all the definition information needed to generate data entry screens to collect the data from an end user. An EXAMPLE ManuScript is even self-documenting, containing information to describe the Data Document and will create a rich set of documentation.

While EXAMPLE ManuScripts are the backbone of the EXAMPLE Platform®, EXAMPLE Author® is the application used to create, edit, and test the capabilities of an EXAMPLE ManuScript. Author puts product lifecycle management into the hands of the people who best understand your products – your own organization.
