TAKE AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO YOUR OPERATIONS GET A FULL RANGE OF CAPABILITIES Wealth Management Accelerator is part of CSC s integrated suite of life and annuity software that helps insurers create new products, reduce operating costs and improve relationships with distributors, policy owners and regulators.

It supports concurrent processing, allowing organizations to process business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. TOP MUTUAL INSURER ADOPTS END-TO-END WEALTH MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE One of the nation s largest mutual life insurers was struggling with managing multiple administration systems. New products were difficult to introduce, and processing costs were high. After talking to CSC, the company opted to consolidate systems onto Wealth Management Accelerator. Together, we combined the insurer s policy activities and repetitive payment systems onto one platform that supports today s more demanding customers. And, with policy information such as values, funds and coverage bundled in a series of tabs on the screen, CSRs can provide customers with accurate information quickly. Wealth Management Accelerator is essential as a growing number of baby boomers approach retirement age, said the company s IT manager. We now have more flexibility to provide great service while reducing our back-office costs.
