OneDigital Company Announces Launch of First Broker-Carrier API Connection

Comprehensive Group Insurance API Platform Delivers Digital Connectivity, Creating Enhanced Customer Experience

ATLANTA, GA – January 26, 2022 –  Centro Benefits Research (Centro), a fully-owned subsidiary of OneDigital, today announced the launch of the first broker-carrier comprehensive Group Insurance API (application programming interface) connection with the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian®). This first-of-its-kind API powers digital connectivity between traditional brokers and carriers for the benefit of employers and employees they serve.

The Centro Group Insurance API Platform launched with Guardian enables the seamless and straightforward exchange of client policy information, facilitated today by PDF documents traveling by email. The inaugural API connection provides digital connectivity between Centro and Guardian, enabling all Centro broker partners, including OneDigital, to utilize data in virtually every client interaction, including routine service, renewals, plan consulting and stewardship, RFP, and quoting.

OneDigital has invested significantly in its digital and product initiatives. As a result of the new API, we are enabling our teams to be more efficient so they can spend more time serving their customers and less time on manual connectivity and data sourcing. As such, we are thrilled that the Group Insurance API through Centro has created a more effortless experience for our customers and the employees they serve.
 
Julie Cape, Executive Vice President of Client Services, OneDigital Enterprise and Select

"Data interoperability in insurance has been a priority over the past decade. With the heightened focus on modernizing customer experiences and the impact data makes in every part of the value chain, API capabilities and modern technology can add tremendous value for all stakeholders," said Beata Rogala, Chief Operating Officer at Centro. "Centro's broker-carrier API connection delivers scalable carrier connectivity that enables operational efficiencies and provides better user experiences throughout the entire policy life cycle."

With recent investments in businesses and talent, OneDigital is continuing to build momentum in technology-based products that improve the customer experience within the employee benefits industry.
