“Digital transformation is a key focus for executives in life insurance and financial services seeking to accelerate the speed of business. Pekin Life’s decision to implement our new business and underwriting and e-Delivery solutions is enabling them to deploy a powerful, end-to-end core platform to optimize sales for their independent agents,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “Our SSG Digital platform delivers the most extensive capabilities offering in North America. Pekin Life’s tightly integrated quoting, illustrations, and e-app products are now enabling them to feed critical data into their underwriting and e-delivery process. This is a game changer, and it demonstrates how one platform has the ability to power new business functions across the enterprise.”
