Abstract

Provided is a method and system for building a compliance software service using reusable and configurable components. In one example, the method may include receiving a request to build a software in association with an identified jurisdiction from among a plurality of jurisdictions, retrieving a plurality of configurable software components which comprise built-in functionality that is generic across the plurality of jurisdictions, dynamically configuring non-generic functionality for the identified jurisdiction within the plurality of configurable software components based on inputs received from a user, and creating a software program for the identified jurisdiction based on the dynamically configured software components and storing a file including the created software program in a storage device.

Claims

1. A computing system comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor configured to

receive a request to build a software in association with an identified jurisdiction from among a plurality of jurisdictions,

retrieve a plurality of configurable software components from the storage device which comprise built-in functionality that is generic across the plurality of jurisdictions,

dynamically configure non-generic functionality for the identified jurisdiction within the plurality of configurable software components based on inputs received from a user, and

create a software program for the identified jurisdiction based on the dynamically configured software components and store a file including the created software program in a storage device.

2. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a selection of the identified jurisdiction via an application programming interface (API) of a digital platform for building software.

3. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to receive inputs via a common user interface for dynamically configuring the non-generic functionality, and the common user interface comprises a uniform design across the plurality of jurisdictions.

4. The computing system of claim 1, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a user management component with built-in generic functionality for maintenance of users that access the created software program.

5. The computing system of claim 1, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a data management component that describes fields and layouts for display in the created software program.

6. The computing system of claim 1, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a metering component that monitors usage of resources by the created software program.

7. The computing system of claim 1, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises an orchestrator configured to manage communication processes carried out by the created software program.

8. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the non-generic functionality comprises one or more of data mapping between client data and the created software program and user interface features associated with the identified jurisdiction.

9. A method comprising:

receiving a request to build a software in association with an identified jurisdiction from among a plurality of jurisdictions;

retrieving a plurality of configurable software components which comprise built-in functionality that is generic across the plurality of jurisdictions;

dynamically configuring non-generic functionality for the identified jurisdiction within the plurality of configurable software components based on inputs received from a user; and

creating a software program for the identified jurisdiction based on the dynamically configured software components and storing a file including the created software program in a storage device.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving a selection of the identified jurisdiction via an application programming interface (API) of a digital platform for building software.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the dynamically configuring comprises receiving inputs via a common user interface for dynamically configuring the non-generic functionality, and the common user interface comprises a uniform design across the plurality of jurisdictions.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a user management component with built-in generic functionality for maintenance of users that access the created software program.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a data management component that describes fields and layouts for display in the created software program.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a metering component that monitors usage of resources by the created software program.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises an orchestrator configured to manage communication processes carried out by the created software program.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the non-generic functionality comprises one or more of data mapping between client data and the created software program and user interface features associated with the identified jurisdiction.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions that when executed cause a computer to perform a method comprising:

receiving a request to build a software in association with an identified jurisdiction from among a plurality of jurisdictions;

retrieving a plurality of configurable software components which comprise built-in functionality that is generic across the plurality of jurisdictions;

dynamically configuring non-generic functionality for the identified jurisdiction within the plurality of configurable software components based on inputs received from a user; and

creating a software program for the identified jurisdiction based on the dynamically configured software components and storing a file including the created software program in a storage device.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises receiving a selection of the identified jurisdiction via an application programming interface (API) of a digital platform for building software.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the dynamically configuring comprises receiving inputs via a common user interface for dynamically configuring the non-generic functionality, and the common user interface comprises a uniform design across the plurality of jurisdictions.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein a configurable software component from among the plurality comprises a user management component with built-in generic functionality for maintenance of users that access the created software program.
