Adept's 5th generation breakthrough environment and language, called ICE5 (Insurance Construction Engine) allows systems designers, system analysts and business analysts to encode specifications in a disciplined manner directly into the computer, analogous to the way accountants enter information into a spreadsheet. Our “software generators” then create the system and generate the actual software programs from these specifications. This is the advanced RAD (Rapid Application Development) component of ICE5’s environment allowing carriers to have rapid deployment of their customized solutions.
