Revolutionary Digital Platform Development

The Quote & Enroll platform is Visagamurthy’s most transformative achievement, fundamentally reshaping how insurance enrollment operates at scale. This industry-leading digital system now processes 98 percent of new business applications, generating an extraordinary $2.85 billion annual premium revenue from 3 million enrollments. The platform’s sophisticated architecture integrates real-time multi-product quoting, eligibility checks, underwriting decisions, e-signature capabilities, and secure payment options into a seamless user experience that has become the gold standard for digital insurance enrollment.

Visagamurthy developed the Quotes-on-the-go mobile application to complement this flagship platform, which has achieved remarkable adoption rates.

Automation Excellence and Process Innovation

Visagamurthy’s Real-Time Underwriting Decision project represents a paradigm shift, transforming manual, time-consuming underwriting processes into an automated, rules-based system of unprecedented efficiency.
