For over 60 years, Sentinel has focused on helping seniors by providing specialized insurance and financial solutions including final expenses, healthcare insurance and retirement annuities.

A key consideration in Coda Financials- selection over Lawson ERP was its architectural design that allows for easier implementation, its ability to run on the IBMi platform, its superior reporting capability and its low total cost of ownership. “Coda Financials- ability to integrate seamlessly with front-office systems such as our commission and incentive compensation system was critical. We needed a system that could handle a large volume of data and provide real-time reporting to effectively drive commissions to over 10,000 agents daily,” Rasmussen adds. “We have aggressive expansion plans over the next ten years and we expect to play an important part in the development of our company,” he concludes.
