discover your agency's potential with an Ams360 assessment

Whether your agency just migrated to AMS360 or you have been using it for years, conducting a comprehensive assessment of your agency’s AMS360 utilization can yield immense value. A thorough assessment can help your agency identify areas for improvement, streamline workflows, and enhance data accuracy and integrity. By addressing inefficiencies, you can in turn increase profitability, drive efficiency, and stay up to date with industry best practices. 

The assessment results can help your agency make more informed business decisions, maximize your AMS360 system’s potential, and prepare for future growth. 

Kite Technology's AMS360 Assessment Process

An experienced lead consultant will assess the effectiveness of AMS360 utilization and provide an action plan to address your most pressing issues. The assessment will be conducted in 4 parts:

1.  Discovery Conversation

A lead consultant will conduct a conference call with your agency’s leadership and subject-matter experts from your agency to understand:

  • An overview of your agency operations

  • Lines of business (commercial P&C, personal P&C benefits, etc.), verticals, and target markets

  • Organization structure, key team members and roles within your agency

  • Integrations and third-party tools you are using or plan to implement

  • Pain points and challenges that must be addressed to meet your business objectives

2.  AMS360 Data and Configuration Deep Dive

The lead consultant will review your AMS360 database*, audit your transaction activity, and execute various AMS360 system reports* to determine:

  • In-depth review of more than 60 data points including:
    • Key configuration settings
    • Numerous reports
  • Typical workflows
  • Data and process issues
  • Consistency of your processes across team members
  • Alignment with best practices

* Agency will need to provide a log in with enterprise admin access to AMS360

3.  Presentation of Findings and Recommendations

The lead consultant will conduct a conference call with leaders and invited team members to review findings and recommend next steps. Findings will include a breakdown of both strengths and areas of opportunity across various aspects of your AMS360 implementation including:

  • Configuration
  • Activities and events
  • Accounting
  • Third-Party Integration Opportunities

The recommended next steps will include a detailed proposal outlining a planned approach for deriving the most value the quickest. Depending on findings, recommendations will include a combination of various activities such as:

  • Configuration changes
  • Workflow design and/or documentation

4.  Proposal and Documentation

After the presentation, the agency leadership will be provided with the following deliverables electronically:

  • Summary document of the assessment findings

  • Video recording of the Presentation of Findings and Recommendations

  • Formal proposal for recommended next steps

Highlights from the 2023 Accelerate, Powered by NetVU Conference

by Leave a Comment

I have always loved attending the annual NetVU Conferences for Vertafore users, and over the years, I’ve only missed a handful. A few years ago, the conference underwent a rebranding, emerging as the new and improved Accelerate, Powered by NetVU. This revitalized event brings together industry professionals for a dynamic experience that includes cutting-edge education, exclusive insights into emerging technology, and valuable opportunities to learn from fellow Vertafore users. The conference is a fantastic way for Vertafore users to stay informed, inspired, and connected within the ever-evolving insurance landscape.

This year’s conference took place in Austin, Texas, which proved to be an excellent host city. Though, I wonder who I could have talked to about turning down the humidity! Nevertheless, getting there was easy, and the venue itself was conveniently located near many outstanding restaurants within walking distance.

But let’s get to the heart of the matter – the event itself was outstanding! From the informative educational sessions to the engaging exhibit hall and the memorable evening events, every aspect was well planned and flawlessly executed.

Now, let’s dive into what I thought were the highlights from this year’s Accelerate, Powered by NetVU!

Accelerate, Powered by NetVU Conference Highlights

Emergence of “AgencyOne”

In prior years, we heard about “Titan Technology” from Vertaforians; however, this year that phrase was absent. It’s seemingly been replaced by “Agency One” which refers to the overall Vertafore universe.

A conscious effort is underway to standardize the overall Vertafore user experience. One notable example of this is the recent revamping of the color scheme in AMS360. If your agency hasn’t yet seen their system upgraded, you can expect to see a fresh standard palette of vibrant orange and sleek gray (see example below). These appealing colors will gradually permeate all Vertafore systems over the next few months, ensuring a standard look across the Vertafore spectrum (PL Rater, Reference Connect, Sircom etc).

AMS360 Interface

Another integral aspect of this initiative involves an intuitive user interface, seamlessly connected workflows, and a comprehensive 360-degree view of the customer. We eagerly await further details, as it was promised that more information would be shared later this summer. This update will certainly improve the user experience while providing a holistic view of customers, paving the way for enhanced efficiency.

Goodbye WinForms

During a follow-up “What’s New in AMS360” session, the presenter revealed an ambitious drive to update every entry point within AMS360, transitioning from the current WinForm format to a sleek HTML interface, akin to the existing Customer entry/edit feature. I asked whether this transformation would take months or a few short years. The answer was within a few years—while I’d rather have a firm target, I’ll take that commitment for the moment.

When this happens, the need for the “Client” software will become obsolete, enabling AMS360 to seamlessly operate across any browser and operating system. Yes, you heard it right, Apple fans will no longer be required to run Windows parallel software.

This announcement was tremendously positive news!

The RevTech sessions

This year’s conference featured an impressive lineup of 14 sessions dedicated to cutting-edge technologies for agencies. These sessions delved into key focus areas that included:

  1. Developing Your Agency’s Technology Strategy
  2. Effectively Leveraging Microsoft 365
  3. Security and Compliance
  4. Data, Integrations, and Automation

NetVU RevTech Sessions

All of these sessions were engaging panel discussions featuring industry leaders. Notably, KiteTech team members were prominently represented in most of the sessions. The RevTech sessions were well attended with many being at or near capacity, so they are sure to be included in future conferences.

I personally had the privilege of participating in two sessions, where I shared my thoughts and insights on these topics:

  1. Maximize Your Agency’s Performance with Apps and Integrations
  2. Data Analytics and Visualization: A Better Understanding of Your Data

These sessions brought together a diverse panel of experts, primarily comprising developers of third-party integrations. As the outlier on the panel, my focus was to shed light on how these integrations can better serve agencies in visualizing their data and streamlining workflows. As well as presenting my fantasies about what they should do and the value to the agency side of the industry.

I would like to have an intuitive dashboard that provides real-time production information, rather than having to wait for hours after running a report and applying pivots or macros to get outdated financial production data. Additionally, I would like to see dashboards that proactively highlight important information, eliminating the need for us to analyze reports to find what we are looking for. This applies not only to financial reporting but also to account management. For instance, it would be beneficial to have a renewals dashboard that displays the progress of each renewal and alerts us to any delays or issues with the schedule.

We can achieve these goals (and much more) with the application of rules in our dashboarding. I have witnessed firsthand the power of such dashboards and firmly believe that this level of functionality is not only possible but essential for agencies to thrive in today’s data-driven landscape.

API’s

I attended an engaging RevTech panel session where a Vertafore representative shared exciting news.
She said that there is a drive underway to get every data point available in the API! Once this happens the gates will be open to do almost anything via an API.

For those who may not be familiar with the term, API stands for “Application Programming Interface.” What it essentially does is facilitate interaction between two programs, enabling seamless communication and data exchange. API’s allow programs to pull (get) or post data. However, currently the API can’t post data to every field.

Here’s one example: Claims data – we all know that some carriers download claims into AM360. For those who don’t we would have to manually enter the status, payments, and reserve information. Doing this manually is a herculean task!

But if the data was there, we would be better able to help manage client and agency loss ratio. Just seeing the numbers and comparing those to the date of loss would allow us to perhaps get reserves reduced before renewals were run…and get better rates, via credits, for our clients.

On the Workers Comp side, we can then use this data to forecast Ex Mod changes. If we contract with a Mod forecasting provider, we can use their API to automate this process as well. No more manual checking, the exchange of information can be automated.

This would also allow us to manage our contingencies and carrier relationships!

Now there are several Robotic Process Automations (RPA’s) that can be engaged to go to carriers and capture claim information…BUT, in the current API we can’t add/edit claims data in AMS360, we can only report on that.

Being able to get this information into AMS360 would give agencies:

Giving them the ability to have true and accurate loss data in one place, AMS360, at all times.

  • Freeing up team members to more valuable tasks, rather than updating claims info.
  • Allowing them to use PBI tools to let them know, across the system, when claims hit certain dollar values or when they hit certain time milestones.

I for one, can’t wait for more (well actually all) data fields to be open to the API! It will be a game changer.

The Exhibit Hall

The exhibit hall at this year’s Accelerate conference was a bustling hub of innovation and industry expertise with a good bit of fun sprinkled in. Spanning across a vast space, it was filled with a diverse array of vendors representing cutting-edge technologies, integrations, and other solutions. It provided a unique opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the vendors, explore their offerings, and gain valuable insights into the latest advancements in the insurance landscape. The vendors’ passion and dedication were obvious as they eagerly shared their knowledge, answered questions, and fostered meaningful connections with attendees. The entire KiteTech team had a great time engaging with attendees eager to learn more about how our IT Services and AMS360 Consulting can help their agencies more effectively! Check out the KiteTech team and booth below.

KiteTech at Accelerate Conference

The Keynote Address

The keynote address this year was presented by best-selling author Blake Morgan, a customer experience futurist passionate about helping organizations grow their businesses by delivering an exceptional customer experience. Blake’s presentation provided valuable insights into the evolving world of customer experience and its significance for the insurance industry. Her engaging storytelling and thought-provoking ideas inspired attendees to reimagine their customer interactions.

Blake Morgan NetVU Keynote

Blake concluded her compelling keynote address by unveiling four indispensable strategies that empower organizations to prioritize customer experience by making it a DECISION, rather than a discipline or a division:

  • W – Walk a mile in their shoes
  • A – Ask for the truth
  • Y – Yes to accountability
  • S – Small improvements every day

Implementing these strategies can significantly enhance customer experience and foster a culture of continuous improvement and customer-centric decision-making.

Conclusion

Accelerate, Powered by NetVU, was a fantastic conference. With Vertafore’s focus on innovation, standardization, and expanded capabilities, the conference fueled lots of excitement for the advancements that are coming our way.

Anticipation is already building for next year’s Accelerate, Powered by NetVU conference, set to take place in the vibrant city of New Orleans. As the host city, New Orleans promises to provide a backdrop of rich culture and a dynamic atmosphere. Attendees can expect a compelling lineup of sessions, networking opportunities and unforgettable evening events. Stay tuned for more information and be sure to register early for the best rates!

Leveraging AMS360 to Deliver Exceptional Customer Service

by Leave a Comment

Providing proactive and efficient customer service is essential for building strong and lasting relationships with your customers. After all, as customers ourselves, we know how frustrating it can be to receive slow or reactive responses from the organizations we do business with.

Implementing time-saving best practices and leveraging the powerful tools within your AMS360 management system can help you take your customer service to the next level, giving you a significant competitive advantage in the industry.

Here are two key strategies that you can utilize with AMS360 to deliver exceptional customer service:

1. Ditch the notepad and take notes directly in AMS360

When you answer a phone call, chances are you’re reaching for a pen and notepad to jot down information. But then what do you do with those notes? If you’re not shredding them, you could be risking sensitive information. Plus, manually entering notes into AMS360 after the call is time-consuming and inefficient. Also, very often we are moving from one call to another with no “break” in between. This often results in not having time to do the activity after the call has ended.

Why not streamline the process by opening a new activity to capture notes directly in AMS360? Just use that quick access at the top of most screens. This way, you can avoid the double work of creating paper notes and then transferring them to AMS360 later. And if you’re working remotely, it’s even more important to avoid paper notes that could be misplaced or seen by unauthorized individuals.

AMS260 Quick Access

Remember that you can enter the customer name later by using the “Search” button in the activity.

AMS360 Activity

In today’s busy world, efficiency is key to not only providing exceptional customer service but also enabling you to experience higher productivity at work. By streamlining your processes and optimizing how you use AMS360, you can ensure that your clients receive responsive, timely, and efficient service.

2. The AMS360 Proactive Triangle View – An innovative approach to delivering outstanding customer service.

The Proactive Triangle View is a simple but effective way of keeping track of important details for each customer interaction. By focusing on three key areas – Balance, Activity, and Suspense – we can ensure that we are fully prepared for each conversation and able to deliver the best possible service.

  • Balance – Check to see if there are any open invoices or outstanding bills that you can bring up in the conversation to address any questions or concerns the customer may have. This helps to build trust and ensure that all financial matters are being properly handled. For example, ““I notice that the invoice for the recent new truck is open. Do you have any questions regarding that?”
  • Activity – Checking recent activity on the account can help you understand the context of the call and any issues that the customer may be experiencing. By staying up to date on recent activity, we can better anticipate the customer’s needs and provide proactive solutions. See my story below about how doing this completely changed (for the positive) a situation.
  • Suspense – Review Suspense items to see what else may be pending. This could include items like underwriting requests, signed applications, or other important documents. By addressing these items while on the phone, we can save yourself and the customer time and hassle by ensuring that everything is being properly handled.

Proactive customer service means anticipating your clients’ needs and taking action before issues arise. By being proactive, you can deliver exceptional service by helping your clients save time, reduce costs, and avoid potential problems.

The Proactive Triangle View in Action

Let me share a story with you that perfectly illustrates the value of the Proactive Triangle View.

When I was VP of Operations at an agency, I was transferred to a call from Tony at ABC Co, who I was told was “very upset”. Tony and I had spoken before, but the representative on his account was on vacation. Before I picked up the phone, I quickly reviewed the account details using the Proactive Triangle View.

Thanks to the information I gathered, I knew exactly why Tony was calling – he needed his Texas Cert. So, when I answered the phone, I confidently greeted him and said, “Good morning, Tony, I bet you’re calling about your Texas Cert.” The relief in his voice was palpable – I heard a moment of silence and then an exhale (of the energy he had) and in a very friendly voice he replied, “Yes I am, what is happening?”  I was then able to communicate to Tony that we were on top of the situation and that we had his best interests at heart.

By taking these extra few steps, I was able to turn a potentially difficult situation into a positive experience for both the customer and the agency. By implementing the Proactive Triangle View in your own agency, you can do the same. So why not take a few extra minutes before each call to gather all the relevant details and be fully prepared? The benefits in terms of improved customer relationships and time saved are well worth it.

Ams360 & Imageright new employee training

Onboard your employees with confidence using our AMS360 new employee Training Services

Training your agency’s new employees to use AMS360 and ImageRight effectively can be a time-consuming and overwhelming process for both you and your new hires. However, effective employee training is critical in ensuring a successful and efficient onboarding experience, and can significantly impact your new employees’ confidence and their relationship with your agency.

At Kite Technology Group, we offer comprehensive AMS360 and ImageRight user training that enables your employees to quickly learn the ropes so they can feel confident and capable in their roles. Our training is customized based on each employee’s current level of experience with AMS360 and on the skills they’ll need to have based on their specific role within the agency.

Our process for Training New Employees:

1. To ensure effective training, we begin by creating a customized list of AMS360 and ImageRight tasks based on the employee’s role and responsibilities. We then consult with their manager to identify the top priorities to be covered in the first 60 days and tailor the sessions accordingly.

2. Our training sessions are tailored to your agency’s specific needs by gathering information on your agency’s procedures and standards before we get started. If a procedures manual is not available, we ask targeted questions to help us create a customized training plan that aligns with your agency’s unique workflows and industry best practices.

3. We cater our training approach based on the employee’s familiarity with AMS360 and ImageRight:

    • If they are a prior AMS360 and/or ImageRight user, we would focus on the “highlights” and fine-tune the topics according to the agency’s process. This approach results in less time spent on training.
    • For those familiar with agency operations but new to AMS360 or ImageRight, we will provide in-depth training sessions that cover a wide range of topics. This comprehensive approach may require more time, but will ensure that new employees are equipped with the skills they need to use the system effectively.
    • For those completely new to agency operations, we offer a gradual crawl-walk-sprint-marathon approach to help them become completely comfortable in process and procedure over time. We start with mid-level introduction to certain features and workflows to get them “crawling”. Then we move on to a deeper dive into their tasks in the “walk” level after a few weeks. The “sprint” level comes a few more weeks down the road with even deeper workflows, and the “marathon” level takes many months, perhaps a year, to achieve complete comfort with the process and procedure.

4. For certain workflows, we offer written handouts that provide detail of the steps we cover during training. This way, new employees can reference the material and refresh their knowledge as needed, ensuring a smooth transition to using AMS360 and ImageRight effectively.

Empower your Employees to Excel in their roles With training tailored to their skills and positions

At Kite Technology, we understand that transitioning to a new role or department/team within your agency can be challenging and require additional skills in AMS360 and/or ImageRight. To help you excel in your new position, we start by conducting a thorough assessment of your current AMS360 and ImageRight skill set. This evaluation enables us to compare your existing abilities with the skills required for your new role.

To make the assessment process as accurate and comfortable as possible, we’ll have you perform a task and record the process. While live evaluations with a trainer are an option, we recognize that it can sometimes cause nervousness and lead to errors. That’s why we provide a more flexible approach to assessing your skills.

Using the gathered information, we develop a tailored list of AMS360 and ImageRight tasks that you’ll either need to learn from scratch or refresh your knowledge on. The time commitment for this customized training depends on the number of tasks identified.

With our comprehensive and customized approach to skill development, we aim to help you transition smoothly and succeed in your new role. Let us guide you through this exciting phase in your career!

MEET MICHAEL TROUILLON, SENIOR AMS360 CONSULTANT AT KITE TECHNOLOGY

As a seasoned AMS360 consultant, with more than 40 years working in the insurance industry, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. I have spent my entire career in the insurance industry, starting as a file clerk with a medium-sized San Fernando Valley agency right out of high school. Since then, I have held a variety of roles, including Assistant Account Manager, Account Manager, Account Executive (producer), Marketing Manager, and Agency Operations Manager. I have also served as a Compliance Manager for a large commercial property program, handling licensing and surplus lines filings for multiple states.

My extensive background has given me a broad and specific view of the insurance industry, allowing me to understand processes and match workflows to them. I am a past board member of the SoCal Valley NetVU Chapter and Past Chair of the NetVU Communications Committee at the national level. Additionally, I am a member of the NetVU Educators Guild and a NetVU conference presenter. I have also previously served on the Advisory Board of the Insurance Skills Center, which is the insurance education arm of IBA West.

My deep understanding of the industry, combined with my commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices, enables me to deliver exceptional AMS360 consulting services to my clients. Whether you’re looking to optimize your workflows, improve data quality, or enhance your reporting and analytics capabilities, I have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve your goals.
