University Park, IL – 26 September 2017 – Applied Systems today announced that Applied Epic has become the world’s most widely-used cloud-based agency and brokerage management system. Additionally, Applied unveiled Applied Epic 2017 R2, the latest release, that provides advanced, integrated capabilities for agencies and brokerages to manage policy renewals, quoting workflows, and expand omnichannel customer service channels.
Applied Epic is the most technologically advanced software application for independent insurance brokerages to automate business operations and drive connectivity to insurers and insureds in a changing insurance marketplace. The single, integrated and open application provides essential capabilities for each stakeholder within the brokerage to better manage customer relationships, sales opportunities, financial accounting and policy and benefits administration across all lines of business.
