There’s a joke in the industry: If you ask a life insurance specialist what one plus one equals, the answer will depend on whom you ask. The insurance accountant will confidently reply, “Two!” The actuary will pause and say “Well, that depends…” Meanwhile the underwriter will quickly answer, “Three!” We have achieved a “three” by creating Solem Americas from two separate underwriting manuals.

A Refreshed Look and Feel
While content is of paramount importance, the delivery of that information must be intuitive and easy to follow. We examined the underlying technology and user appearance of both manuals with a goal of creating a system that is both readable for the user and flexible enough to be revised as needs arise.
To learn more about the content and functionality of our new manual please contact either your account executive or me. We are excited to share the new underwriting manual with you and look forward to your feedback. ∞
