iPipeline® – a leading provider of no code / low code cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry, today announced Sammons Financial Group, parent company to Midland National and North American company, advanced its digital transformation initiatives while paramedical exam offices were shut down during the height of the pandemic by extending the capabilities of iGO® e-App with several unique product features to streamline non-fluid underwriting and provide distribution partners expanded options and flexibility. Sammons Financial Group’s best practices approach for the use of e-App has resulted in their agent adoption rate increasing from 56% to 75% during 2020. *

“Sammons Financial Group is a great example of how iGO e-App is enabling carriers across the U.S. to effectively achieve digital transformation initiatives. By implementing unique product features, they have managed to circumvent the collection of fluids by expanding the medical questions within the e-App workflow. This is accelerating how they do business by eliminating the paramedical exam while making the purchase of life insurance more palatable for their clients,” said Larry Berran, CEO, iPipeline. “The industry is working its way through the challenges being presented in the current contactless selling environment. iPipeline is pleased to be working with Sammons on finding innovative ways to increase their speed to market while serving the financial needs of the families seeking their products.”

“I am thrilled to see our digital transformation roadmap come to life and distribution partner e-App adoption surge to 75%, particularly in a challenging year like 2020. The ability to streamline how our distribution partners submit business to us has enabled Sammons Financial Group to address market demand for a variety of our products and ensure our customers do not experience delays in satisfying their traditional needs,” said Neil Berns, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Sammons Financial Group. “We’ve also worked with iPipeline to modify our iGO workflow by expanding medical questions to execute non-fluid underwriting in instances where it wasn’t previously available, making it easier for distribution partners to serve their clients in a substantially better way.”
