Applied Systems Unveils News System for Agents

Applied Systems Epic™ has entered the insurance-selling and -servicing marketplace, offering agents and brokers the automated system they asked for to do business now and in the future.

Insurance technology company Applied Systems Inc. announced that the Epic system is in general release, after more than four years of intense development and testing by professional staff as well as agent and broker customers. Epic is built on entirely new architecture to provide the features, functions and growth capabilities that agents and brokers have requested via hundreds of meetings and more than 100,000 individual product requests.

“We asked our customers about their goals, about where they wanted to be in three years, five years, and beyond,” said James Kellner, Applied Systems chairman and CEO. “We also assessed marketplace trends and conditions, and we determined that agents and brokers needed an agency management system that did not yet exist. In this industry, we’re the builders, and we have the insurance know-how. So we built Epic.”

Kellner said the system is a rich Internet application that is free of browser-based inefficiencies and scalable to agencies and brokerages of any size. He said the new technology platform provides for easier administration, lower cost of ownership and increased efficiency and productivity.
