ALLENTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Andesa Services, a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated policy administration, plan administration and support solutions for life insurance and annuity carriers and producers, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the Challengers quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for North American Life Insurance Policy Administration Systems” published June 19, 2013.
To be included in the Magic Quadrant, vendors must offer a software solution that provides core policy administration for life and annuity products in the North American market. Andesa was one of two vendors added to the Magic Quadrant for the first time this year.
Policy administration vendors included in the report were evaluated on their “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision.” The “ability to execute” dimension was evaluated based on system architecture/flexibility, overall viability (business unit, financial, strategy and organization), sales execution/pricing, market responsiveness, track record, marketing execution, customer experience and operations. “Completeness of vision” was evaluated based on market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, product strategy, business model, vertical/industry strategy, innovation and geographic strategy.
“We believe our positioning in the Challengers quadrant is a testament to our commitment to administer blocks of policies reliably and at a predictable cost in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model,” said Andesa Services President and CEO Ron Scheese. “Seven of the top 13 life insurance and annuity companies already rely on Andesa, and we look forward to expanding our offerings to even more industry leaders.”
