Ebix, Inc. announced that it has completed the implementation of its enterprise annuity exchange platform AnnuityNet4 (AN4), across its entire client base in the United States, besides signing four new contracts with Life and Annuity insurance companies in the fourth quarter of 2018. AN4 is a highly complex complete technology rewrite of Ebix's previous AnnuityNet platform, involving more than a hundred man-years of development time.
