VP/MS (Visual Product Modeling System) is a family of software components developed by CSC that support product development and product lifecycle management.[1] Insurance companies (among other users in business and IT[2]) use VP/MS to manage the rules, clauses, formulas and calculations associated with savings and both life and non-life insurance products. With VP/MS all calculations and queries for purposes such as quotes and administration are supported by a central repository of product definitions.[1][3]
VP/MS supports processes like product definition and administration, product testing and documentation, design checks, visualization and cross-platform usage of products. In addition to hosting product definitions, VP/MS is a modeling language. It provides a graphical interface (GUI) for creating business rules as components and models.[2]
VP/MS is platform independent[4] – products can be ported to any administration or illustration system or deployed over the Internet[5] – and makes use of the Eclipse platform[6] for developing software.
