National Western Life Goes Live Worldwide on iGO e-App

The Texas-based marketer of life and annuity products domestically and globally chose iPipeline based on its offerings' ease-of-use and accelerated processing power the carrier's global producers require to do their jobs.

National Western Life (Austin, Texas) has gone live with a worldwide launch of iPipeline's (Exton, Pa.) iGO e-App for the insurer's life and annuity products. National Western Life markets its products in several regions around the globe. The vendor describes the iGo electronic application as an intelligent fillable form that simplifies and accelerates the marketing, selling and processing of insurance applications.

“National Western Life chose iPipeline because of their strong position in the industry, excellent products that fit our markets nearly perfectly but, more than anything, the company has a great team that executes well and delivers what they say they will — they do an excellent job supporting our needs,” says Mike Hydanus, SVP, CAO, National Western Life. “iPipeline provides the ease-of-use and accelerated processing power our global producers require to do their jobs. Despite the continuing pressures of the economy, we see the value in making strategic investments to better connect producers with their distributors and us. This go live will positively transform the way National Western Life accepts applications and issues policies.”

Tim Wallace, CEO of iPipeline comments that National Western Life's "ability to make its life and annuity products rapidly and easily accessible to producers in North America, Central and South America, the Caribbean and soon after the Pacific Rim speaks to the ubiquity and power of our on-demand Velocity Platform. National Western Life's confidence in iPipeline and collaboration as a partner continues to drive the success of this global rollout. National Western Life’s initiative to ‘fast track’ iGO e-Apps over paper submissions will speed worldwide adoption.”
