New generations
of agency management systems are currently available and are being
developed that use Internet technology (like Internet browsers)
to provide easier access to the information contained in your customer
and policy database. The power of Internet technology is that it
provides a common communication standard that will allow agents
to find information wherever it is located. With this ability to
communicate you will be able to find customer information in your
own agency database, in rating programs, and claims and direct bill
status located on insurance company web sites. All using a single
piece of software.
Within your
own agency, browser software will improve your ability to find specific
client information. Navigation is vastly improved to allow you to
find specific client information in just a couple clicks of your
mouse. Using a browser also cuts down on the amount of staff training
necessary because the same browser software is used to access data
in a variety of different places. Another benefit of using common
Internet communication protocols is the ability to simplify remote
office communications. Currently, sharing data with remote offices
is expensive, cumbersome to set up correctly and difficult to maintain.
