Agency management for larger P&C driven agencies that are looking for standardization across their business. The system really allows you to track and see when activities are being created and completed, where an account is in the marketing process (or renewal process). It also is a great data warehouse when looking to consolidate.

I am in IT, and on my end their support is pretty good. Tickets are answered within a few hours on average, sometimes quicker. Anytime we have major upgrades they are on standby to assist if need be. Their teams are also available with larger projects from planning to implementing.

Support Rating
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.

Its very good. They have teams for each software product they offer. They have specific teams available for specific tasks such as data migrations, upgrades, etc. The employees they hire for their support teams are always knowledgeable about their products and are good to work with. They also speak clear english which is a plus when details matter and an incorrect or misunderstood word/phrase could cause issues.

Alternatives Considered
We upgraded from [Applied] Tam to [Applied] Epic as we were needing new servers. The cost was a huge factor and the fact that Applieds data is backed up by them and updates are done by them, it was a huge cost and time saver for us.
