OMS says that by fully integrating with the UnderwriteMe Protection Platform its users will be provided with a seamless point of entry to a unique protection sourcing tool. OMS will pre-populate the Protection Platform, offering advisers access to protection quotations, pre-sales underwriting and a single application journey which generates fully underwritten comparative terms for life, critical illness and income protection products.
OMS covers product areas such as residential, buy-to-let, second charge, equity release, bridging, commercial plus general insurance, and protection and is integrated with Twenty7Tec, Submissions Brain, Ignite, Hometrack, Experian and Knowledge Bank to provide users with best-in-class for product sourcing, protection sourcing and criteria searching.
Neal Jannels, (pictured) Managing Director of OMS, commented: “The UnderwriteMe platform shares many tech-led synergies with OMS, meaning this integration will really resonate with our users as it serves to simplify and streamline a process which has long been perceived as being daunting and overly complex.
“Ignoring a client’s protection needs will mean that advisers are not only potentially missing out on a regular income stream – which can also add considerable value to a business if there are any future exit strategies in the pipeline – but also in delivering a stronger duty of care in an uncertain economic climate. And this is a relationship which will certainly help to positively transform the protection conversation for our users and help deliver that duty of care.”
Mark Cracknell, Commercial Director at UnderwriteMe, added: “We are delighted to be launching a partnership with OMS. Our objective is to make individual protection more accessible and this integration with OMS is another important step in supporting the advice process and delivering customer choice.”
