System (Global fields, calculations and rules reusable across the system)Country (tax systems, reusable calculations across a region e.g. state retirement age in the UK)Organization (standardized fields / inputs or calculations reusable across an organization)Scheme (benefit funding rules, enrolment periods across a Client’s scheme)Benefit templates (cost calculations, validations, and selection options based upon a benefit provider’s products).

Templates written by Configuration Engineers will be used to standardize and simplify the implementation of Client schemes across the globe. (* The Darwin Configuration Language (DCL) is a proprietary configuration tool developed in Darwin. This is used in Darwin 4.0 to create the basic building blocks of our platform (benefits, client schemes and interfacing).
