Exton, Penn.-based iPipeline has announced that it has placed in AlwaysOn’s OnDemand Top 100.

iPipeline specializes in on-demand software that supports marketing, selling and processing solutions for the nation’s top insurance carriers, distributors and producers. iPipeline made the cut thanks to its performance on five parameters including innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value,\ and media buzz.

“iPipeline’s vision is to transform ideas into products that revolutionize the insurance industry. Our SaaS (News - Alert)-based solutions provide carriers, distributors and producers with processing efficiencies that are unprecedented within the industry,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “Our inclusion in the OnDemand Top 100 Winner List signals the importance of leveraging new technologies that simplify and accelerate the marketing, selling and processing of insurance on a global basis.
