Abstract
A computer program for handling insurance-related tasks includes a data component that stores, retrieves and manipulates data utilizing a plurality of functions, a client component that includes: (1) an adapter component that transmits and receives data to/from the data component; (2) a business component that serves as a data cache and includes logic for manipulating the data; and (3) a controller component that is adapted to handle events generated by a user utilizing the business component to cache data and the component to ultimately persist data to a data repository. In use, the client component allows a user to define tasks during execution phase of the program that achieve a goal upon completion. The user is able to input rules which dictate which tasks should be selected based on a set of predetermined events. Tasks are generated based on received events.
