Ebix Australia doesn’t release a completely new broking system very often, so it was essential that we celebrate another milestone in the history of Ebix – the launch of Ebix Evolution.

While it can sometimes feel that technology is evolving at such as a pace it is impossible to keep up, there are a few simple ways for your business to reap the benefits of the digital age.
