Exton, PA (June 6, 2017) –
iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for
the life insurance industry – today announced Raymond James® and
OneAmerica® will be deploying iPipeline’s DocFast® e-Delivery solution.
Designed to optimize digital interaction between sellers and their
customers, DocFast will initially be used to deliver life insurance
policies and related documents based on a collaborative workflow
including the insurer, distributor, financial advisor and customer.
Raymond James currently has approximately 7,200 affiliated advisors.
“The
insurance industry prints billions of pages of documents per year to do
business. This is done at an astronomical cost, and this paper-based
process creates roadblocks to streamlining the selling and buying of
insurance,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “Today’s digital customer
expects communications and documents, including insurance policies, to
be delivered electronically. DocFast has been designed to fulfill this
need specifically for the insurance industry. Raymond James and
OneAmerica are leading the way and setting the pace for others to
follow.”
“At Raymond James, we embrace technology that enhances
the advisor client relationship and that strengthens our position as an
industry leader in technology. Our ability to exceed the expectations of
clients includes providing them with the best client experience,
technologies, and a higher caliber of service,” said Beth Maziad, Senior
Vice President, Private Client Group Investment Product Operations,
Raymond James. “DocFast is designed to specifically meet the needs of
the life insurance industry and is an easy-to-use tool for our advisors
to help better serve their clients. Our recent pilot with OneAmerica
demonstrated positive results, and we see the solution launch taking us
one step closer to achieving our digital transformation goals. e-Policy
delivery for life insurance will be rolled out to clients first with
annuity contract deliveries following in the future.”
“The ability
for our customers to use DocFast to review our policies through Raymond
James is a tremendous step forward. At OneAmerica, we’re committed to
continually improving customer experience, and Raymond James’ deployment
of DocFast makes doing business easier, faster and more efficient for
financial professionals and policyholders,” said Gregg Poston, Vice
President, Individual Operations, OneAmerica. “Based on their extensive
knowledge of how the life insurance industry works, iPipeline has
created a unique e-Delivery solution to enable us to more effectively
engage our digital customers. DocFast has filled a technology gap, and
we are pleased to be working with Raymond James on the rollout.”
DocFast
for e-Delivery is also now available with iPipeline’s unique upsell
feature, which allows the customer to increase coverage based on
pre-approved amounts. Customers receive pre-approved coverage
options that encourage policy upsell opportunities. Customers can also
increase their death benefit, change term lengths, and select payment
modes in an intuitive user interface. Premiums are automatically
recalculated and policies amended without a lengthy re-issue process.
