Hosted Online -- Or On Your LAN

At Applied, we offer you a choice of ways to access our solutions. With hosted mode, you access your solution online via the Internet. With the LAN-based option, you install and maintain it yourself, on your own server in your data center.

Hosted Mode

With hosted mode, we maintain your solution in our state-of-the-art data center. You offload the tasks of installing and updating, securing the servers, guarding against intrusions and backing up your data. This frees you to focus on what you do best – selling and servicing your customers.

For most agencies, this is the preferred option for deploying Epic, TAM or Vision. It is the only option for DORIS, which is an online-only solution.

Read about just a few of the real benefits agents and brokers are experiencing with their online systems in Why agencies value online management systems.

The hosted-mode option gives you:

  • Access anytime, from anywhere. Your producers and CSRs can service customers anywhere they have an Internet connection.
  • More automation for less IT budget. We upgrade the software and maintain the hardware. You have continuous access to the latest versions without the costs and responsibilities of maintaining the IT infrastructure.
  • Greater productivity, less overhead. You don't have to incur the productivity loss when your staff members have to administer your solutions, or the costs of employing full-time IT personnel or hiring consultants.
  • Higher security for your data. You would be unlikely to be able to duplicate the degree of security and safety we offer you. Our solutions are housed in fully staffed, state-of-the-art data centers with multiple security levels, sophisticated technology and back-up, and triple redundancy. We comply with the stringent requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70. Since our ASP-hosted solutions went live in October 2000, they have never been compromised by a virus.

LAN-Based Install

If you are a large agency with full-time IT staffing, a data center and the resources to handle redundancy, backup and other overhead, you might prefer to install Epic, TAM or Vision on your own servers. You'll have the full backing of our knowledgeable tech support.
