Accenture has integrated RGA’s AURA® underwriting rules engine into the Accenture Life Insurance and Annuity Platform (ALIP), making ALIP the first such platform to provide an out-of-the-box option. As a result, carriers can implement ALIP faster and leverage its advanced underwriting capabilities more quickly. The integration of AURA with ALIP can also help insurers boost business and underwriting profitability by enabling them to process new business faster while meeting the industry’s increasingly ambitious service-level agreements and cost targets. With the integration of AURA, ALIP now provides more options for insurers to accelerate underwriting automation, reduce manual intervention and increase underwriting speed. This powerful combination provides greater synergy between industry-standard rules (AURA) and the orchestration to process those rules (ALIP). Both systems apply intelligent automation to free underwriters from routine tasks to apply their expertise on more-complex issues. Used by leading insurers worldwide, ALIP is a robust, configurable and scalable solution that provides life insurance carriers and annuity providers with advanced capabilities for product development, new business development, underwriting, policy administration, claims and payout. It is available as an on-premise or a cloud-based solution which includes an integrated suite of software with modules designed to be implemented individually or as part of a broader migration strategy.
