Insurance Technologies FireLight® Illustration solution allows advisors on SIMON’s platform to leverage SIMON’s powerful analytics and immediately generate annuity product illustrations to share with clients. This integration enables advisors to better meet the financial planning and retirement needs of clients from a single platform.
“When SIMON came to us looking for a seamless way to integrate illustrations on their investment platform, we knew our solution was a perfect fit. By implementing FireLight, SIMON now offers advisors a new capability that was not previously available to the market and new product solutions for their clients—providing a win-win for the industry,” commented Doug Massey, EVP of sales and relationship management at Insurance Technologies. “By incorporating robust illustration analytics, this partnership expands the broad suite of annuity solutions already available on SIMON. The beauty of this is how the illustrations are fully integrated into the SIMON platform, enabling advisors to access what are otherwise disconnected workflows from a single location. It’s a great example of how our clients’ products are expanding into new distribution channels.”
