2020 has not been an ordinary year for life insurance companies. Celent expects insurers will move many digitally sales oriented investments to the top of their investment list for 2021. When combined witht the need to be more virtual for customers and agents, life insurance investments in any new sales technology, such as illustrations, need to be smart with a goal of optimizing efficiency and opportunity for maximizing value. Celent's research into which vendors can meet these needs is imperative for anyone looking to buy a new illustration system.
