7 Jan 2010: we hope to announce an exciting development towards the end of January.
7 Dec 2009: Windows 7 does indeed seem to be a significant improvement over Windows XP, and also to remove most of the annoyances from Vista (for which startup and shutdown times slow down over time).
Our tests confirm that our GRM/OPD software works with Windows 7 without any amendment (due to its .net 3.5 platform).
3 Dec 2009: how long does it take your pensions valuation software to run? OPD version 6.20 takes < 2 minutes (including producing detailed output to Excel) to value a UK pension plan with more than 20,000 members. More metrics soon.
28 Aug 2009: OPD version 6.1, with significant speed improvements is now available.
Screenshots of version 5.90 of our GRM/OPD software (with support for yield curve valuations and automated production of results by member in drill down cashflows) can be seen here and here respectively.
![Similarly, yield curves can be set for any pension increase overrides (assumptions that you want to tell the program to use [e.g. for LPI or other cap and collar formulae] (as opposed to letting the program calculate its own estimate of a reasonable assumption for such rates.
Terms specified in the ValuationPensionIncreaseOverrides table must correspond to terms previously set in the ValuationEconomicAssumptions table.](http://ns.inqa.net/albums/YieldCurveValns/OPD550YieldCurve3.sized.jpg "Similarly, yield curves can be set for any pension increase overrides (assumptions that you want to tell the program to use [e.g. for LPI or other cap and collar formulae] (as opposed to letting the program calculate its own estimate of a reasonable assumption for such rates.
