• Support Permanent Life Insurance Products: Translate Whole Life, Participating Whole Life and Universal Life product requirements into functional specifications, including premiums, cash values, dividends, investment accounts, cost-of-insurance charges, policy loans, withdrawals, lapses, reinstatements and illustrations.
• Enable PAS Implementation: Translate business and product requirements into PAS configuration rules, calculations, data specifications, integrations, acceptance criteria and end-to-end test scenarios, while supporting solution design, configuration validation, defect resolution, data conversion and implementation readiness.
