Best Agency Management System

[DJM]

how is insurancepro? do you like it, is it something you would recommend?

I would recommend it in a second. The downside for me is that the online rater is not available in NM. Other than that I completely endorse it for small and mid size agencies.

I have looked into the others and actually talked to the sales departments of the others. After I tell them what I have and how much I pay, they drop the sales pitch and tell me to have a good day.

Do they (the competition) know something that we should?

I am going to bump this. Data on this subject with cost info is sparse.

Anyone use Agency Expert? I am looking at that one and Insurance Pro.

Thanks in advance.

I would like feedback on what is the best agency managment system with the best value. What system do you use and what are the pros and cons?

Applied, AMS' "InStar", Jenesis are all solid agency management systems. If you need prospecting, client management, quoting and policy management, as well as, a basic financial tool, then these systems can all be leased typically at around $500 up front and about $200 per month for 2-3 seats.

I have been using Instar which is an AMS management system. The system is easy to navigate and the price isn't too bad either. I paid $1,200 for the initial fee and pay $60 per month per user. I paired this up with PL Rating which is an AMS comparative rater. Works very smooth and is $165 month for up to five users.
My only problem was with the initial setup. Download of current clients can be very difficult and they didn't offer much help.

insurance123 has it right.

One of the most difficult elements of leasing an agency management system is the assimilation of clients into the system, and the actual set up time for all the features a system provides.

After intitial set up, I spent 15 months loading clients into the database, however, by the time I was finished, my CSRs could do double the work. We went from 1,000 PIF per CSR to 1,500 PIF per CSR, so it turns out that my AMS system paid for itself in overhead and expense, because I didn't have to hire more CSRs to manage clients and sell insurance!
