Latest Release of the Leading Policy Administration System Is Now Available on All Platforms, Including .NET
TORONTO, June 14, 2005 — EDS-SOLCORP, a leading provider of software solutions to the life insurance and financial industries, today announced the release of version 6.6 of the SOLCORP / INGENIUM(R) policy administration system. In addition to UNIX and mainframe systems, the new version is also available on the recently announced .NET platform, providing insurers with more choices for their preferred platform.
INGENIUM offers financial organizations the ability to define and administer a broad range of wealth management products, including UL, VUL, deferred and payout annuities, and more traditional individual insurance products. INGENIUM’s business functionality fully supports new business, underwriting, customer service and administration processing throughout the entire lifecycle of a contract — from the acquisition of new applications through to final settlement or claim. Business processing is client-centric, providing uninterrupted real-time access to all customer portfolio information. Customer and distributor inquiries and service requests can be processed immediately with all necessary activities and calculations performed automatically.
In addition to availability on the .NET platform, INGENIUM 6.6 includes new enhancements that were developed in conjunction with feedback from the US INGENIUM user group. Streamlining and improving customer service, the new enhancements include future-dated transactions and death claim interest.
“INGENIUM is well-known to evolve to meet the needs of insurers,” said Lisa Rose, INGENIUM Product Manager, EDS-SOLCORP. “With the new .NET platform and enhancements drawn directly from user group feedback, version 6.6 continues this commitment to our clients.”
