One of the most challenging tasks when building technology is meeting both the technical requirements of your audience and providing a positive user experience. Apple has built an empire on doing this well.

Ask any loyal customer what they like about the product and words like sleek, intuitive and easy to use will frequently tumble out of their mouth. Yes, there must be impressive technology to back this front-end experience, but the main thing that we’ve learned from Apple is that ease of use is a key contributor to the adoption rate of technology.

Throughout my career there’s been one thing that’s been constant: change. Every 18-24 months like clockwork my role has changed. Sometimes by choice when I seeked out a new role and sometimes imposed through organizational change. Here’s my little secret. I absolutely loved it! Change is a breath of fresh air to me. Yes, workload goes up, everything takes longer, I feel out of my comfort zone, I have to manage the emotions and worries of other people but despite this chaos I bubble up with an energy and excitement for charting a new path, figuring things out and helping people transform from a place of trepidation to prosperity.

I celebrated another birthday in September. Have you ever noticed that as you get older, birthdays seem to come faster every year? I remember being six and a half and feeling as though it would take forever to reach my seventh birthday. Similarly, I remember feeling as though time completely stopped right before turning sixteen, counting down the days until I could finally get my driver’s licence. 

Even though I’m years away from September representing the start of a new school year, I can’t help but feel the shift that occurs when the labour day weekend rolls around. As a child our family tradition was to go camping on the long weekend and each year I had to remember to pack my lopi sweater (for those of you who have no idea what that is…

(MONTREAL and TORONTO) – August 30, 2016 – eSignLive™, the e-signature choice for business, today announced an exclusive partnership with APEXA, the cloud-based platform for life advisor onboarding, contracting and compliance. Once launched, APEXA with eSignLive will change how life insurance carriers, managing general agencies (MGAs), and life insurance advisors standardize and digitize the stringent compliance requirements for advisors, at the same time boosting internal productivity.

A few years ago, we set out with a very lofty goal to connect the entire Life Insurance Industry through a single platform AND simplify the contracting, onboarding and compliance processes for Carriers, MGAs and Life & Health Insurance Advisors. This is what we did:

I like to think of our monthly newsletters as quick pulse checks. As you know, APEXA is tasked with connecting an industry, so 2016 is a BIG year, not only for my team, but for our industry. Yes, things are going to change and it’s time for things to change, it means progress is upon us. Have a peek at some of our key milestones from the month of May:

APEXA has kicked off the second quarter of 2016 with a bang! The more we network with industry professionals across the country, the more we see the level of awareness and interest in APEXA grow. Have a look at the updates and accomplishments from the start of Q2 below:

Spring has sprung! Or not. Regardless of what Mother Nature has in store for us we are forging forward towards our final sprint before launch.  And let me tell you the wait has been worth it.  We’ve added more robust functions to APEXA to streamline processes and ease the usability and we can’t wait to show you what industry collaboration and engagement can do.

Starting in March and continuing in April we have also launched an Advisor series to provide sneak peeks of the system and get feedback from Advisors as we ramp up for launch. 

It’s not just the hope of sunshine around the corner that is boosting our excitement at APEXA. We’re looking forward to finally being able to show you what we’ve been working on and then to let APEXA speak for itself.
