Having Your Agency Management System Hosted On the Internet Or Installed On Your Network ...

This has become a very controversial topic.  However, being focused on your needs and developing systems that will easily run in both environments, we don't care which way you want to run your agency management system.  What we do care about is that you're making the choice based upon facts and what's in your agencies best interest.

If you're wondering which makes the most since for you agency or you're being pushed by a vendor toward one, you definitely want to hear what they have to say!!  To help you determine which is best for your individual agency there's a really good website available that addresses this very topic at www.HostedAgencyManagementSystems.com

The Real Time Push ... Getting Information About Your Clients and Their Policies Real Time At Your Fingertips, And More!

To not confuse you, let me first point out that "Real Time" isn't a specific product.  It's an outcome and a result that uses many products and technologies to accomplish its specific objective.  Here's the result we're all after with Real Time and why there's such a huge push for it ...

Real Time, in a nutshell, is (from their website) “...the ability to click on a button from a client file in your agency management system or comparative rater for immediate access to carrier information on that client. The transaction may be a quote, billing inquiry, claim inquiry/loss runs, policy view, endorsements or a request for information. This approach provides a single workflow for servicing or quoting.” 

The Real Time concept is, in my opinion, the new solution to SEMCI (single entry multi company interface), but at a much deeper level with far more promise and more advantages than what I've seen in the past years or with SEMCI, but that's because I know what we're going to be offering to achieve this.

We fully support Real Time (www.GetRealTime.org).  Remember, our #1 priority is helping you to massively increase the productivity in your agency!  This is another strategy to help accomplish that.  More information will be coming of exactly how we support Real Time.
