Zinnia Migrates AnnuityNet Platform to AWS, Enhancing U.S. Annuity Processing

Zinnia, a prominent technology provider in the life and annuity insurance sector, has successfully migrated its core order entry platform, AnnuityNet, to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This transition marks a pivotal advancement in cloud infrastructure adoption within the insurance technology landscape. Handling over 55% of annuity submissions from the U.S. bank and broker-dealer channels, this migration is set to enhance system scalability, reliability, and security for critical annuity processing operations.

The use of AWS cloud services aligns with broader industry trends toward leveraging cloud computing to optimize insurance technology stacks, supporting faster innovation and improved regulatory compliance. By migrating to AWS, Zinnia can capitalize on advanced data analytics, robust cybersecurity frameworks, and streamlined operational workflows, which are essential for managing large volumes of sensitive financial data.

This move also underscores the growing importance of cloud-based infrastructure in meeting increasing market demands and evolving payer/provider expectations in the life insurance and annuity segments. The adoption of cloud technology in core insurance systems highlights a strategic focus on digital transformation to sustain competitive advantage and operational efficiency in a dynamically changing regulatory environment.
