iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for
the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced
Pekin Life Insurance is innovating with Resonant® for new business and
underwriting and DocFast® for e-Delivery to power its core new business
platform. The platform is used to automate and simplify sales activities
for 1,500 distributors.

SSG Digital™, iPipeline’s end-to-end core platform for the life
insurance and financial services industry, is the most widely used
platform among independent and captive agents and licensed financial
advisors in North America.

“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.”

“As a result of our decision to innovate, information from the e-App
will be directly transferred to our underwriting environment to reduce
processing time. Approved policies will, in the very near future, be
e-delivered to our customers to speed issuance and get them protected
faster. This is an enormous gain for Pekin Life and our customers,” said
Diane Steiner, Vice President, Life Underwriting, Pekin Life Insurance.
“Pekin Life is focused on providing peace of mind and long-term security
for our policyholders, shareholders, agents, and employees. Our digital
transformation initiative with iPipeline supports this focus and allows
us to meet the expectations of our customers by offering them an
innovative, easy and quick buying experience to accomplish their
financial goals.”

iPipeline’s SSG Digital core platform is designed to enable the life
insurance and financial services industry to automate and simplify all
new business, administration, and in force management tasks to achieve
