ATLANTA--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX), a leading international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance industry, today announced that it has been selected to provide an enterprise wide, end-to-end system for the marketing and administrative subsidiary of a leading publicly traded health and life insurance holding Company. A definite contract reflecting this decision was signed between the two parties yesterday. For competitive confidentiality reasons, both parties agreed not to reveal the name of the Client at this time.

The deal involves implementation of multiple Ebix services working in an on-demand SaaS basis, namely EbixEnterprise, LuminX and Ebix CRM interfaced with each other to provide a turnkey end-to-end solution. Ebixa™s enterprise solution will replace four different legacy and disparate systems used by this insurance group, which had minimal integration between them.

The insurance group needed a consolidated and integrated best-of-breed enterprise system to address the diverse needs of their brokers and distributors, administration and financial business, carriers, employees, client employers and business partner channels. The insurance group selected Ebix after evaluating multiple different vendors to provide a solution that helped integrate their broker system, financial system and claims administration system.

Jim Senge, Senior Vice President of Ebixa™s health operations said, aThis contract is a good example of Ebixa™s vision of driving convergence and ensuring that data can seamlessly flow-through across different entities, processes, functionalities and channels. This will also be Ebixa™s first implementation of EbixEnterprise in the Health industry. In our vision plan, we see Ebix Enterprise as the one stop platform in the insurance industry, on which our clients could process business across different channels and functionalities for the insurance industry irrespective of whether it is Health, Life, Annuity, P & C or any other product line.a
