Solution Overview

For a Life Insurer, Underwriting is a core competency and the key bridge between sales and risk management. The challenge is that the tools used to create and edit the business rules are not in an easy-to-use, intuitive format. Our solution provides the glue that drives the triage functionality to make automated decisions and route work and alerts easy!

Key Features

  • Many insurers have not yet aligned their underwriting process with target customer and distributor needs. It can often take 8 to 10 weeks to issue a policy! 
  • Larger Life insurers have implemented custom, disparate solutions that grew over the years, but frequently lack the latest in fully digital data and process capabilities. 
  • No two insurers have the same eco-system, making it difficult for software product companies to design a solution that works for most carriers. 
  • Most software products do some things well but fall short on integration, usability, or self-service components. 
  • Many insurers still rely on paramedical exams & manual processing of medical records for some or all their cases. Instant decisions and triage at the point of sale have become competitive table stakes.
