EIS Group's Digital Insurance Platform Deployed for Guardian's Direct to Consumer Business

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EIS Group, a core and digital platform provider for insurers, today announced that The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian^®), one of the nation's largest mutual life insurers and a leading provider of whole life, individual disability insurance, and employee benefits, has deployed EIS Group's digital insurance platform to support its direct to consumer business. 

The new platform was developed in less than twelve months and enables Guardian to offer consumers dental PPO and HMO, critical illness, and accident products within a simplified and convenient customer journey.  The cloud-based platform supports quoting, enrollment, policy administration, billing, claims, and customer management and engagement processes to provide Guardian's customers with a fast, seamless digital experience. 

"We were able to introduce a consumer-friendly product platform on a remarkably short timeline. This project was unique in its large scale, and a critical accelerator was an effective Agile process managed by EIS Group that leveraged the rapid provisioning and scalable qualities of the cloud," said John Furlong, Platform CIO at Guardian. "EIS Group software and solution delivery, and their commitment to our goal were key to delivering the totally digital platform with state-of-the-art architecture that we wanted for our customers."

Consumers can quickly access policy information, make billing changes or file a claim in the self-service portal. 

Guardian deployed EIS Suite components PolicyCore^®, BillingCore^®, ClaimCore^®, and CustomerCoretm and EIS DXP as the foundation of the new business platform.
