Why Wynsure was chosen:
Wynsure was preferred to competitors mainly because:

- Wynsure was chosen because it had been proven repeatedly faster to implement than competitive approaches and easy to customize to meet business needs
- Wynsure is highly adaptable by users themselves with no need to recompile
- Wynsure's component-based solution allows easy consistent evolution to meet new needs (functional, legal...)
