In addition to financial planning applications, Advicent also provides a configurable application builder— Narrator—to facilitate financial institutions, insurance organizations, and wealth management firms truly narrate the story and differentiate their business. Narrator allows organizations to create custom widgets, create fun experience, and portray the story differently to fulfill the unique needs of clients. The financial institutions can build their own programs, mobile apps and portals for financial insight and analysis through Narrator. Advicent enabled a provider of life insurance and retirement solutions, Zwitserleven to meet the demands on pension communication through Narrator.
Zwitserleven wanted to appeal to a younger crowd by adopting online methods and changing their outlook which traditionally had the reputation for being exclusive to the wealthy and elderly. By leveraging Advacent’s Narrator, Zwitserleven created animations that attracted customers to take action. To help the client retain its existing customers, Advicent introduced a tool that helps clients to enter all pension data through a login ID (digID).
The tool’s simple interface incorporated calculation as and when it received data, while at the same time, delivered instant feedback. The calculations enabled Zwitserleven to solve compliant communication issues through data integration and made it more simple and efficient, without creating red tape. Advicent resolved the issues within a time span of 12 weeks, keeping client costs and turnaround time to a minimum.
As far as Advicent’s future plans are concerned, it promises to remain true to its mission of enabling financial institutions and their clients impact their financial future through constant innovation of user-friendly, simple, yet efficient products and services.
