Tower enhances adviser interface

Insurer Tower Australia has moved to extend its technological reach into the adviser market.
Tower has joined with IRESS Market Technology to launch a new adviser-specific product, Accelerate Connect, which allows advisers to launch Tower’s electronic application system from the IRESS Xplan Risk Researcher screen, with client and cover details automatically passing through from one system to the other.
According to Tower’s head of distribution, Patrick O’Connor, the new technology is different because advisers will not need to separately log on to Tower’s Accelerated Online platform before proceeding with the life insurance application.
He said advisers simply needed to maintain their Tower Australia logon and password details in the IRESS Xplan system and the security would be managed automatically behind the scenes.
O’Connor said that as a result of the arrangement, Tower had become the only insurer in the market to provide a straight through link from the comparator to the application without having to log on again and rekey data.
