    [Applied] Epic is great for holding information but it does take time to enter data correctly if you want to be able to complete reports accurately[.]

    We recently showed a "potential client" who is now a client a comparison of an insurance product he was sold to a strategy we would have recommended and they were blown away at the difference. So much so, they cancelled the current product and went with our recommendation. The presentations are very powerful.

    Pros
    Applied Systems
    • Account Management - I like the way the system organizes the data for each account. It is easy to search and find any client we are looking for and then once within that record, it is easy to navigate to the necessary policy or screen.
    • Task Management - once everyone was trained and on the same page, the ability to move tasks within the system from one person to the next really helps with the "passing the baton" from one team member to another. The task will come right up on the initial screen so the user knows they have something new to do.
    • Reporting - the system drives the majority of the reporting we do as an agency and it is great when working within the system.

    Cons
    Applied Systems
    • Some of the questions in the applications are repetitive.
    • The manual is not especially user-friendly - our agency is working on a new one for easier navigation.
    • Better integration with our other software programs would be beneficial to our agency.

    • It can be pricey for a start up to get access to all the features, however the payback is worth it.
    • Learning curve - As with any new software, there is a learning curve but training is available.
    • So many features - make sure you take the time to find out all the features available and how to use them.

    It is very user friendly. You can go from beginner to efficient user in a short period of time. I like the option of a desktop application as well as the web app

    Support Rating
    Applied Systems
    I have not necessarily used support from Applied Epic directly, but have gone to my trainer who has gone to support. I am usually able to get an answer relatively quickly, so I can assume the support team is very knowledgeable and prompt with their help.

    I think it's much easier to use applied epic then TAM. More user-friendly and more intuitive. I feel Applied Epic is a much more productive solution.

    I have never seen another product like Life Design Analysis and I don't believe there is another one out there that can do the same. If there is one, I would have a hard time believing it has the same features and capabilities as Life Design Analysis. (LDA) The reports are unmatched.

    Return on Investment
    Applied Systems
    • Consolidated from multiple systems to one for P&C - reduced spend on maintenance of those systems and centralized our support making life easier for IT.
    • Positive impact on the time spent actually putting information into the system. Previously TAM was used and that system was hard to navigate and use.
