Integrated real-time communication to enable more timely and comprehensive customer service
University Park, IL – June 13, 2017 – Applied Systems today announced live chat capabilities as part of Applied TAM’s Commercial Lines application. The imarket Live-Chat service enables Applied brokers to communicate easily and directly with underwriters on rate and product enquiries without leaving the Applied TAM Commercial Lines application, increasing insurer connectivity and allowing business to be more quickly quoted and bound.

Applied TAM automates the business operations for more independent insurance businesses than any other broker management system, enabling more users to focus on the core business of selling insurance and serving their customers.
“Consumer expectations for anytime, anywhere service are redefining the insurance experience, requiring brokers and insurers to collaborate more closely to meet consumer demand for quick service and differentiated product offerings,” said Jeff Purdy, senior vice president of International Operations, Applied Systems. “We continue to see significant momentum of our Commercial Lines panel and adoption of integrated eTrading, and this latest enhancement will further enable brokers and insurers to digitally differentiate their business and ensure the best product choice and service for insurance consumers.”
