MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 7, 2011 —     /PRNewswire/  — ING’s U.S. Insurance division announced today the launch of Life  Illustration Express Mobile, an innovative, new tool that agents can use on  their tablets and mobile devices.  This technology makes it easier for  agents to instantly run illustrations and compare premium quotes for multiple  term and universal life  insurance products simultaneously, thus helping their clients make informed  choices when it comes to coverage decisions.

“With more mobile devices in the U.S. today than people, it’s important to  keep pace with the evolving communications landscape and develop ways that make  it easier to do business,” said Kurt Fasen, senior vice president of ING  Insurance Sales Support. “Agents are constantly on-the-go and they need to be  able to access and distribute information quickly.  ING’s new Life  Illustration Express Mobile leverages the latest advances in mobile and  smart phone technology and allows agents to respond to their clients in real  time with illustrations and quotes.”

Optimized for iPhone, iPad and Android, ING’s intuitive, web-based tool  requires no software installation and very little training.  Agents simply  launch the mobile tool from their web browser and then add Life Illustration  Express Mobile to their home screen for easy access.  There is no login  required, so agents can easily enter their clients’ criteria and are instantly  able to compare term and universal life products.  They can immediately  email the results to their clients creating a simple, streamlined sales process.

This latest tool enhances a robust line-up of technology solutions that  underscores ING’s commitment to its vast network of independent agents.  In  addition to the industry-leading desktop software platform ING Presents,  ING rolled out the web version of Life Illustration Express in 2008,  which made it much more efficient for agents to get life illustrations for  multiple term and universal life products at the same time from any web browser.

ING has additional technology tools that make it easier for agents to  calculate important life insurance information for their clients.  The Life  Insurance Capacity Calculator helps determine future insurability while the  Hypothetical Index Strategy Calculator helps illustrate how the indexed strategy  affects return potential on a indexed universal life policy.  These  calculators are available on ING Presents, a resource that provides  comprehensive product and concept information and sales tools to make it easier  for ING’s distribution network.
