iPipeline, a provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry, announced that its SimplyAnnuity tool, powered by the AFFIRM for Annuities order entry module, will be used by BCS Insurance Agency (BCSIA) to offer fixed and fixed indexed annuity products through Four Seasons Financial Group.
