Features

The most impressive feature of the 121 System is its ability to capture customer information one time and leverage that data throughout the sales process, from the initial meeting or phone call all the way through to policy issuance. Information gathered at each step of the process, from the first contact with the customer forward, is transferred first to a needs analysis, then to a quote, an illustration, the electronic application and finally to the policy itself. The goal of a paperless end-to-end process is finally within reach. In addition to delivering a customer self-service portal out-of-the-box, 121 provides a comprehensive agent portal with a broad set of tools for self-service, customer service, and much more.

The provided customer portal gives customers the information they need, avoiding unnecessary calls to the service center. Better still, this information can be provided via an agents carrier-branded personal homepage as created by the homepage builder. Producers can also add customer self-service capabilities to their existing Websites. Customers can view policy information, policy loans, policy and fund values, billing information, cash value, beneficiary information, agent information, and more. Customers can also initiate a change of address request.

System Highlights
  Integrated Full-lifecycle Advice

121 provides comprehensive advisory functionality that drives the full-lifecycle of integrated advisory processes spanning sales prospecting, investor profiling, financial planning, asset allocation, investment selection and portfolio construction, portfolio monitoring and analysis, portfolio rebalancing, client review and reporting.

  Guided Selling

121 provides a guided selling and workflow framework that includes pre-built processes that can be configured to meet individual channel needs. Features include lead assignment and routing, process monitoring and the ability to view detailed task history.

  Compliance

121 enables firms to implement compliance implicitly through business rules, process definitions and output templates or explicitly through conditional review and approval tasks within sales processes. Not only can firms ensure that they meet changing regulations in a flexible manner but also ensure consistent adherence to firm-defined policies, guidelines and procedures.

  On-line & Offline

121 offers a wide range of platforms from Internet-connected desktop PCs to PDAs and disconnected laptops. Whether financial advisors are online or on the road, they can always access 121 to perform critical business tasks, with the simplicity of automatic synchronization every time they reconnect. Even offline 121 provides the same familiar, easy-to-use browser interface that is provided for online users.

  A Modular Solution

Insurers can choose to implement 121 as a part of the EAB Integrated Insurance System, as a separate but complete enterprise front-office solution with their existing policy administration system(s), or they can choose to license individual modules or components to meet specific needs, giving them the flexibility to build an enterprise solution incrementally by implementing specific 121 modules, one at a time. Available modules include iQuote (quick quote and illustrations), eApp (electronic applications), FNA (needs analysis and reporting), and iComp (compensation system).
