About Us Our Story:
Founder and CEO Peri Lane started Apis Productions in 2002 after spending 10 years in the Insurance industry working with a BGA, a Benefits Consulting firm, and an Insuretech. With that background and an eye to the horizon, Lane saw the need for a technology driven approach to the insurance brokerage business. Beginning with websites and Single Sign On technology, Apis Productions broadened its technology footprint to become the recognized leader in providing sales and marketing technology solutions to the life insurance and wealth planning industries.
In our 25 years as a digital architect for the Insure Tech industry, Apis Productions has helped hundreds of businesses stay at the leading edge of industry developments. We work with BGAs, IMOs, FMOs, Individual Agents, and Wealth Advisors.
