EXL’s LDS platform recognized as ‘Luminary’ in Celent New Business and Underwriting Systems: North America Life Insurance Edition report

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EXL [NASDAQ: EXLS], a global data and AI company, announced it has been recognized as a Luminary in the Celent New Business and Underwriting Systems: North America Life Insurance Edition report.

The recognition marks the third consecutive year that EXL’s Life Digital Suite™ (LDS) solution, has been honored for its innovation and functionality. In 2022, EXL’s LDS also earned the Luminary honor, and in 2023, EXL won Celent’s XCelent Breadth of Functionality Award for its LifePRO™ platform.

This Celent report evaluated 20 different technology platforms supporting the automation and digitization of the new business and underwriting processes to lower operating costs and improve customer experience. The focus was on new business and underwriting systems currently offered in North America. The Celent evaluation is based on detailed analysis of product offerings and capabilities along with client references and surveys.

“As a modern, low-code, highly configurable system with six new clients in the U.S. and U.K., EXL’s LDS has become a top contender in the new business and underwriting solution market,” states Karen Monks, principal analyst in Celent’s Life Insurance Practice and author of the recent report. “EXL’s continued investment in the product, like Underwriter Assist, a summarization and query tool using GenAI, helps them make insurers’ shortlists.”

Fully interoperable with existing client technologies and pricing systems, the cloud-based solution is built a with simple no code configuration and includes pre-built product templates supporting fully customized agent landing and quote pages, personalized quotes and detailed management dashboards.
