JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FAST, a Verisk (Nasdaq:VRSK) business, announced today that Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company, a leading provider of whole life insurance, is in production with FASTs electronic Application (eApp). The implementation is the first step in a multi-phase legacy transformation program at Lincoln Heritage, which will also include FASTs distribution management and policy administration.

While selecting a holistic insurance platform was important, we had an urgent need to provide a premium eApp capability to our valued agents, said Matt Londen, senior vice president and CFO at Lincoln Heritage. Successfully implementing a state-of-the-art eApp capability, including digital signature and pre-filling of data, allows our agents to spend time talking about customers needs instead of filling out a form. Weve already started the next phase of our transformation program and feel ideally positioned to meet the needs of both our agents and customers while adding more digital capabilities.

Lincoln Heritage has embraced our platform and methodology to address a critical need, said Tom Famularo, managing director and founder of FAST. While their legacy transformation plans are ambitious, theyve already started to realize significant benefits. We couldnt be happier to have helped Lincoln Heritage achieve their goals.
