Michimich.com/10144898

TAMPA, Fla. - Michimich -- Enterprise Iron Financial Industry Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of advisory services to the Retirement industry, and Coherent, a global software as a service (SaaS) company recently named among the 2021 InsurTech100, today announced a new strategic partnership to accelerate speed to market and operational efficiency for retirement plan service providers, recordkeepers, and third-party administrators in the United States. Enterprise Iron will debut the Coherent Spark technology at the (coincidentally named) SPARK Forum, an annual conference where top-level leaders convene to shape the future of the retirement industry.

Data-driven retirement businesses rely heavily on complex logic, rules, and models—which shape everything from plan pricing to participant experience, and ultimately, retirement readiness outcomes. Yet as advanced as these outputs are, they're often derived from Excel spreadsheets and legacy systems that lack a single source of truth. Efforts to extract the data and convert it into code for various applications can be manual, time-consuming, and error-prone; not to mention costly.

With Coherent Spark, Enterprise Iron is helping clients overcome the twin challenges of technical debt and complicated integrations with an innovative solution that lets them keep the flexibility of Excel-based logic and lose the limitations. Coherent Spark converts logic from Excel to application programming interfaces (APIs) automatically at cloud speed—meaning what used to take weeks or months of business requirements documentation and IT coding now happens in seconds.
