Platform Architecture


Instec’s quicksolver 3 software serves as our core technology platform that supports all our lines of business. The products are all written in Instec’s Insurance Domain Specific Language (DSL) with the extensive library of objects that can be leveraged through a common set of development tools. There are currently over 100,000 objects in our library which means Instec never starts from scratch when building applications. This translates into a well-engineered, reliable software solution you can build on.

Service Oriented Architecture

Instec’s quicksolver 3 platform is a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) that efficiently manages thousands of revisions while preserving the integrity of individual client extensions. This means you realize long-term stability and n-tier horizontal and vertical scalability.

The quicksolver 3 SOA separates application units into self-contained services based on standards. Each service runs as an independent unit, free of dependencies on information storage or other business services.

Instec’s quicksolver 3 has a cohesive application software architecture that leverages:

  • Single rate/issue engine
  • Microsoft SQL Server database
  • Plug-in 50-state line of business modules

It is an object-oriented n-tier architecture that isolates all bureau changes from client-specific changes. Because quicksolver 3 proficiently handles each change independently at a very granular level, software updates are delivered without any interruption to the rest of the system’s operation. Any extensions of the base software to reflect client deviations from straight bureau are safe, too. Through a sophisticated precedence order paradigm, your specific deviations and company-filed programs are overlaid on the thousands of annual, date-sensitive, multi-state rate/rule/form/stat bureau updates and individual state exceptions.
