With a Board-level working group providing executive-level input and direction, IRI’s operations and technology community is driving industry adoption of digital solutions to enhance the experience across the lifecycle in the insured retirement product marketplace.
Digital First for Annuities
Digital First for Annuities is a unique IRI strategic objective to transform the annuity experience for financial professionals and consumers. The top focus is to deliver essential information to financial professionals in the tools and solutions where they manage their business and work with the consumers. Moving to a digital-first model will ensure that annuities are easy to support in any tool, any solution, and any step without having to create one-off innovation limiting implementations and translations that slow down the process and create a negative experience.

IRI’s strategic pillars help align our vision, mission, purpose, and guiding principles. The Digital First for Annuities vision is to engage the entire market to make annuities easy to understand, transact, and manage by eliminating friction from the financial professional and the consumer experience. Our initiative also seeks to facilitate market growth by attracting and retaining financial professionals. IRI leverages guiding principles under a digital first strategy to support the financial professional and consumer in any tool, any solution, and any step without having to create one-off implementations and translations.
