Mi Trader Studio

The market leading insurance product configuration environment, built upon Microsoft's latest technologies, providing a TRUE configuration studio for the tailoring by non-developers of data capture forms, schemas, rating, documents and services.

Built upon the latest Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation ("WPF") tecnologies, Mi Trader Studio is the enabler for businesses who require full or partial self-service of their insurance product lines on a platform they know and trust - Mi Trader

Mi's proprietary Mi Trader Studio comes bundled with both the Mapping Builder and Test Builder modules. Mapping builder provides the "glue" for sending and receiving data items between the various optional modules (Form Builder, Document Builder etc.) whilst the Test Builder module allows for comprehensive and automated testing of individual product configurations prior to release to any web site.

Form Builder - Configuration module for the creation of form data capture, validation and behaviour rules

Form Builder provides a graphical ("WYSIWYG") interface for product builders to configure tailored data capture forms with a whole host of available web controls (text fields, date pickers, radio buttons, check lists, drop down lists etc.).

These forms can be configured with full dynamic behaviours for hiding and showing fields or large sections as well as options to add calculations, and complex behavioural logic - the end result being a truly dynamic experience.

Document Builder - Configuration module for the creation of complex, dynamic and pixel perfect PDF documents

Document Builder provides product builders the ability to create fully dynamic insurance documentation using industry standard WC3 technologies. Document templates can be created that contain reusable document parts - a Header/Body/Footer approach being its simplest example. These reusable parts can ensure consistency of approach across a product's document set as well as a company's entire portfolio.

The produced PDF documents are available in full colour and pixel perfect with options for DUPLO printing. Content within the document can be both static and dynamic by the insertion of data elements from the XML product schema. Full support for infinite repeating elements and condition logic is available together with previews based on XML test cases.

Rating Builder - Configuration module for the creation of rating and rules based algorithms

Rating Builder provides product builders the ability to create rating and rules algorithms in a simple to use interface. Rating Builder offers an environment where both simple and complex rules and ratings can be configured by non-developers to automate the insurance placement process.

Rating Builder offers nested function calls, the ability to define inputs and outputs, for/each loops for repeating data elements together with all of the functions that you would expect from a Spreadsheet.

Schema Builder - Configuration module for the creation of insurance product line specific data dictionaries

Schema Builder provides a data dictionary of a product configuration on any of the Mi trader Frameworks.

Schema builder contains both a graphical interface (with full documentation of the data dictionary) and a XML view for the more technically minded. Schema Builder allows for inheritance of standard Mi Trader Schemas, being the core product and the selected framework, as well as easy extension to cater for product specific requirements.

Schema Builder becomes the conduit for inserting or retrieving all data from the Mi Trader database engine - using the complimentary Mapping Builder module to transfer data from forms, ratings and services.

Services Builder - Configuration module for the creation of strongly typed web services

Services Builder provides the ability to dynamically create web services interfaces for a variety of purposes.

Services Builder allows for the creation of "Views" which are effectively XSD documents that can represent a third party data schema. Data elements can be mapped (transformed) from this external "View" into the standard Mi Trader schema for the product(s) required. This "abstraction layer" allows for Mi Trader to more easily interface with third party systems in a best of breed architecture.
