Magik-Net and Empire Life have collaborated to set-up a ground-breaking real time connected gateway

RIMOUSKI, QC, Nov. 5, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Magik-Net and The Empire Life Insurance Company (Empire Life), a leading Canadian life insurer, have established a collaboration to develop an application program interface (API) that enables third party administrators (TPAs) to complete tasks associated with the administration of their customers' benefit plans. Magik-Net and Empire Life are pioneering the ground-breaking technology in the group benefits industry to make it easier and faster for third party administrators to transfer data and provide real-time connectivity to administer benefit plans.

"We're thrilled to collaborate with Empire Life and look forward to expanding our relationship," said Marc Giguère, General Manager of Magik-Net. "We think this will bring a whole new level of business opportunity for Empire Life, Magik-Net and our mutual clients. "

Real-time connectivity has the benefit of helping third-party administrators raise standards and meet customer requirements more efficiently, accurately and securely.  This allows carriers like Empire Life to better serve their customers, since they no longer have to spend time and effort processing files ? and confirming successful transactions.

"Empire Life is on a mission to make group benefits simple, fast and easy for Canadians," said Christine Wyatt, Director Group Digital Channels at Empire Life.  "Working with Magik-Net to securely transfer data directly to Empire Life back-end systems will greatly enhance the experience for TPAs in our mutual network."
