Allianz Life: Powered by Insurance Technologies ForeSight™

Company Profile...

USAllianz Investor Services, LLC® (USAllianz®), is an affiliate of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America. Allianz Life, founded in 1896, is a company of the Allianz Group, one of the largest integrated financial services organizations and the 12th largest corporation in the world based on gross revenues(Fortune, July 2003). The Allianz Group is represented by 700 subsidiaries operating in more than 70 countries. USAllianz distributes variable life and annuity products issued and underwritten by Allianz Life.

Situation Analysis...

New challenges are now emerging as the market embarks on a new phase of annuity distribution. From a mere 45 products 15 years ago, to over 450 products today, carriers face an increasing challenge to maintain the attention of their key distributors by differentiating themselves in the marketplace. Using innovative distribution models, compensation approaches and product features, carriers and distributors continue to find ways to keep shelf space and garner new assets.

As the economy continues to put added pressure on financial service institutions to reach the next level of customer service, organizations such as USAllianz require more efficient and effective technology tools to propel them to the forefront of the financial services market.

USAllianz required an illustration system that would provide its sales force the technical tools they needed to describe today's changing complex financial products to consumers. They needed a vendor that:

  • Supports a full-product line up, including Life and Annuities;
  • Has proven experience implementing production systems on the web, and;
  • Remains cost effective throughout the duration of the vendor-client relationship.
