EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iPipeline®, the leader in on-demand marketing, selling and processing solutions for the nation’s top insurance carriers, distributors and producers, today announced that Southern Farm Bureau Life has licensed iPipeline’s Illustration Integrator to provide its Agents illustrations with iGO e-App® to deliver a unified selling experience. Agents will leverage their existing e-Signature solution, in a combined signing process, for the illustration and e-Application along with e-Submission. Southern Farm Bureau also licensed iPipeline’s extensive Needs Analysis and Advanced Sales modules, to access up to 46 concepts enabling Agents to sell more. Southern Farm Bureau deployed iGO in 2011 to its 4,200 producers to simplify and accelerate critical business activities. iPipeline’s Illustration Integrator allows iGO e-App users to enjoy an integrated selling experience while re-using external calculations and output via a “wrapped” calculation engine approach.
“iPipeline is now delivering an ‘integrated experience’ that positively impacts how agents market, sell and process insurance. The ability to experience a common, modern interface while leveraging current technology investments offers new efficiencies to the entire channel. In this instance, we are ‘wrapping’ Southern Farm Bureau’s current illustration calculations and output under the iPipeline Illustration user interface, integrating Illustrations with iGO, and providing valuable enhancements within one platform,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “In 2012, carriers are seeking to mitigate risks, lower costs, improve services, and grow. Illustrations Integrator represents just one way iPipeline has committed to offering our customers solutions to optimize their existing investments.”
“The decision to select iPipeline’s Illustrations solution was based on the flexibility to incorporate our existing capabilities and output, the reuse of data, integration with iGO e-App, digital signature, and e-Submission to support the way we sell,” said Randy Johns, Senior Vice President of Policy Administration, Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance. “Our approach continues to be focused on making it easier for our agents to do business with us and improving the policy issue experience for our clients. iPipeline’s software provides us with a level of flexibility, value and confidence that is difficult to match in the marketplace.”
