It isn’t very often that a new Life and Annuities Policy Administration System enters the marketplace, so I eagerly anticipated the opportunity to review the Penn River system. We believe that those considering a new PAS platform, as well as working with an Insurtech startup as a strategic partner, will want to take a serious look at this solution
Penn River has entered the life and annuity policy administration marketplace with an end-to-end platform anchored on innovative approaches to product configuration and platform technology. Insurance companies focused on integration, acquisition, or modernization will benefit from learning more about their platform.
Penn River Advantage
Penn River is a Cloud based Annuity and Life Policy Administration System (native cloud) designed with pre-built functionality that is flexible, extendable, transparent, verifiable, and maintainable (simple and concise). The architecture of Penn River facilitates speed to market with stable software deployments.
Configurable (NOT CHAOS)
Using our unique tiered approach to configuration we are able to deliver maximum flexibility while maintaining a coherent order and conformity to the delivered product.
Portable Products
Blocks of business are bought and sold by insurance carriers all the time. Once a product and supporting configuration is defined on the Penn River platform it can be transfered to another Penn River installation or replicated to a separate instance in the cloud.
Riding (NOT REINVENTING) Technology Innovation
Architectural designs of almost all policy admin systems force vendors to reinvent industry standard tools such as Source Control, IDEs, and Continuous Integration. The Penn River platform takes advantage of these excellent tools rather than reinvent them.
