Our report of a new underwriting platform, being installed by Partners Life at the weekend, attracted strong reader interest this week…
The launch of Partners Life’s new Underwriting Workbench system is slated for June and will – says the firm – help its underwriters deliver a more efficient service to advisers.
Initially focused on new business applications, Partners Life says the upgrade is its most significant investment in underwriting since 2019, when it launched My Underwriting Manager (MUM).
“It’s going to be a busy few weeks for our new business and underwriting team members as we transition to the new underwriting management system,” states the firm. Adding the upgrade is internally focused at this stage.
…upgrades will maintain this system as an industry-leading insurance tool…
“This will allow our new business and underwriting teams to process customer applications in a more streamlined manner,” states the firm.
“Regular upgrades will maintain this system as an industry-leading insurance tool which sets the foundation for an underwriting revolution into the future.”
To get ready for the upgrade, Partners Life will update its Quote, QFA, MUM and MPL systems. These will be unavailable between 8am and 5pm, Saturday 8 June.
