Mississauga, ON – March 7, 2018 – Applied Systems congratulates its brokerage partner OTIP on its 2018 Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Award for “Capturing the Digital Age Customer.” OTIP built their digital customer experience on Applied Epic, the world’s most widely used brokerage management system, as its foundation to increase digital marketing and customer engagement.

The brokerage formed an Innovation Hub to establish core agile practices with an innovative mindset to succeed or fail fast. With Applied Epic as its foundation, OTIP formed a new Digital channel allowing its customers the flexibility to interact with the brokerage in their preferred way.
