for Carriers powers in good order applications and producer
compliance for life insurance in real time
DENVER and EXTON,
Pa., June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Vertafore® and iPipeline®, leading providers
of software solutions for the insurance industry, today announced a
strategic alliance to make the sales process for life insurance

- Flexible access, at any time, from anywhere, and on any
device

manually tracking licensing and accreditation
- Enhanced experience for agents by ensuring accurate and timely
commission compensation

insurers and their producers," said James
Thom, chief product officer at Vertafore. "With this
