Insurance, investments, and group benefits platform for advisors and clients
Equitable operates a financial-services platform serving advisors, individuals, and group clients across insurance, investments, and employee benefits. The tech stack is enterprise Microsoft-heavy (.NET, Azure, SQL Server, Power suite) with OnBase for document management and emerging AI adoption (GitHub Copilot), reflecting a mid-stage modernization effort. Active projects center on workflow automation, client portals, wealth products, and reporting systems—while pain points cluster around system modernization, data quality, and digital-client engagement—indicating a push to upgrade aging infrastructure without disrupting advisor-led distribution.
