NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has released an updated version of the Accenture Life Insurance & Annuity Platform (ALIP) New Business and Underwriting component that enhances productivity levels for underwriters and case managers through a new workbench that streamlines navigation and centralizes information.
Developed in collaboration with Accenture’s clients, the new release expands upon the platform’s new business and underwriting capabilities to create a superior user experience and meet the growing demands for simplified issue support.
The new workbench delivers one simple management tool and view of policies for underwriters and case managers. Users can accelerate work flows with simplified application templates and process flows, and support automated ordering, approval and referral management to reduce manual intervention. Expanded decision management support will also be available, providing an auto-populated dashboard of “out of bounds” issues to quickly alert underwriters when intervention and evaluation is required.
“Having our customers engaged throughout the design and development process has allowed us to create practical and user-friendly capabilities that will help users become faster and more efficient,” said Mitch Ludwig, product line lead for Life & Annuity Software at Accenture. “The improvements to our new business underwriting and case manager component is another example of how we continue to invest and deliver smart solutions that meet our customers’ needs.”
