As agencies grow and build themselves upward toward bigger and better opportunities, the amount of responsibilities grows with them. Duties, tasks, paperwork, all of it piles up as the business grows and new agents join the fold. The day to day duties can seem daunting for even the largest of teams.
When complexity grows, so too does the need for more efficient methods of satisfying the increased demand. An agency management system may have seemed like an inconvenience years ago, but today it is an absolutely crucial aspect of any successful business. Let’s explore the current obstacles that agencies face, and how cloud-based agency management software is the ultimate solution for your needs.
The Obstacles Modern Agencies Face
No longer is a paper-based system enough. With the rising amount of ACORD forms, the increased competition from other agencies, and the growing needs of clients, insurance agencies have never been under more pressure, and it’s not going anywhere.
To help keep efficiency and client satisfaction high, automated programs and digital alternatives have become extremely popular. Let us imagine that a company is facing a major transition into the digital age and they decided to purchase all of the additional hardware, IT support, and software they would need.
Suddenly the company has incurred a massive cost that doesn’t offer long-term results. Yes, the software may work as advertised, but what happens when it becomes outdated? What if something goes wrong with the program or with the hardware? Where is the money, and more importantly, the knowledge, going to come from to fix it?
Worst of all, the program becomes outdated or unsupported and results in security leaks. An agency’s worst nightmare is the loss of a client’s information or a breach of their trust. With so many possibilities of problems and the ever looming knowledge that today’s solutions won’t solve tomorrow’s problems, it’s easy to see why some companies would hesitate.
You want a program that never becomes outdated, but you also want a program that doesn’t require you to purchase expensive hardware for the entire staff. You want security for your clients and ease of access for your agents. All of these things may seem out of reach or too costly, but they’re not. Here at QQ Solutions, we have the product that meets and exceeds all of your needs.
For Ultimate Security and Dependability, Look to the Cloud
As much as we all would like to have comprehensive knowledge of computers and software, unless we’ve pursued such a career, it’s simply not something most have the time to learn. This means that anything on-site must be maintained and handled by a full-time IT specialist who can resolve issues.
Beyond the costs, agencies must consider how the long-term effects of their choice will benefit, or hinder them. Physical hardware and software does not last long in terms of viability. Within a year or less, those things may no longer be relevant, and you will find yourself with another hefty bill in almost no time at all.
When we refer to the cloud, we’re speaking about an off-site set of equipment and hardware that allows you to access all of its resources on any device at any time via the internet.
At QQ Solutions, our products are not delivered to you, nor is there hardware needed to utilize them. Instead, any and all of your internet enabled devices are already compatible. Your ability to access the program is not limited to an office, but only by an internet connection.
When updates are required for functionality or security, you have them instantly. No costs for upgrades, simply a program that evolves and compliments your business. We aim to provide you with the power to take control of your agency without sacrificing on quality or security.
Whether it’s a computer at work, a personal smartphone, or a tablet, our products work flawlessly on any level of hardware. There’s no downloads, no additional costs, and nothing stopping you from resolving any and all situations the moment they occur.
So, beyond convenience and security, what else can a cloud-based management software offer you? With the power of our programs, your business can enjoy all of the latest technology and efficiency in a form that is safe, automated, and adapts to your needs and the needs of your business.
The program is already rich with features, but let’s say there was something extra you wanted it to do. Our program’s API structure allows us to offer you an entire marketplace of additional apps provided by trusted partners. These apps allow you to customize and expand the already capable software to touch upon every aspect of your business.
To make this quantum leap forward, visit us at our website today to see how cloud-based agency management software is the way of the present and the future.
