There's no programming involved and nothing has to be hard coded, which can be a very time-consuming process. Implementation time is relatively rapid. Trinity Universal Insurance Company was the first company installed. In developing AgencyLink, we designed a program that has multiple uses. We have never sold it to a company yet that didn't find two or three internal uses before they had finished implementing upload and download.
Carriers can use it to move data from a legacy system to a client-server environment.
And in this era of company takeovers and mergers, some insurers are using it to convert files from companies they have acquired. The second largest insurance company in the country is using it to upload assigned risk from New York. The enhanced version's new name, TransFluent, more accurately reflects the broad scope of the product's applications. There is a growing appreciation of the need to be able to communicate across disparate systems. That is a potentially massive amount of data that must be moved to a third party as efficiently as possible.
