Lincoln Financial Group Selected as Winner of iPipeline® Industry Leadership Award
RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lincoln Financial Group has been selected by iPipeline®, a leading provider of web-based software tools for the insurance and financial services markets, as the winner of its 2016 Industry Leadership Award in the Carrier Category. iPipeline’s Industry Leadership Award recognizes Lincoln for its commitment to delivering a digital experience to agents, advisors and consumers that improves how life insurance is bought, sold and serviced.
“We’re thrilled to help them achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace through electronic alternatives that deliver time and cost savings for advisors and policyholders, improved application accuracy, and accelerated underwriting decisions.”
“Given the conservative stance many insurance companies have taken in their approach to technology and modernization, Lincoln is a true pioneer that shares iPipeline’s vision of transforming the new business process in our industry,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “We’re thrilled to help them achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace through electronic alternatives that deliver time and cost savings for advisors and policyholders, improved application accuracy, and accelerated underwriting decisions.”
Heather Milligan, SVP, Underwriting & New Business for Lincoln Financial Group commented, “Lincoln strives to continuously identify new ways to improve the customer experience, including deploying leading-edge technologies. Our comprehensive electronic-business strategy streamlines the life insurance transaction process from application to policy issue. That means our advisors have more time to focus on their business, and our policyholders can begin realizing the financial security provided by life insurance sooner and with less paperwork and administrative burden. The iPipeline Leadership Award is a validation of our e-business approach, and we’re extremely proud to be chosen.”
As part of its e-business strategy, Lincoln utilizes a suite of iPipeline solutions, including:
The iGO e-App, which enables Lincoln Universal Life (UL), Survivorship UL and Term life insurance applications to be submitted electronically, ensures applications are submitted “in good order,” and generates all required state and product application forms automatically.
AFFIRM for Life, which provides a ticket platform for Lincoln hybrid life insurance policies sold through financial institutions, creating a collaborative selling process with built-in support for suitability and compliance management.
