KCI Tax Server -- an service oriented software solution for life insurance policy tax compliance.

The KCI Tax Server^TM system is an insurance software service / framework that provides individual policyholder tax compliance for the life insurance industry. This object oriented software component connects to other systems, like policy administrative systems, to provide automated tax compliance.

Along with ensuring regulatory compliance, the KCI Tax Server’s sophisticated, precise tax processing provides additional policyholder benefits. Policyholder service is enhanced by being able to provide accurate and immediate answers to policyholder inquiries. Accurate funding limit computations may encourage additional policy investment.
