 From the Editor

Once again The Agency Advantage sales team invites you to visit their booth at one of the many tradeshows they will attend this year.  Late June and July’s trade show schedule is shown on the right.

If you are a 6.5 Agency Advantage User [DOS based system], I'd like to take this opportunity to inform you about our upcoming conversion deadline. Until September 1st we will continue to convert your 6.5 data free of charge. After September 1st there will be a fee to convert your data. Not only does the Windows version offer more features, but we are regularly update this program to meet the demands of our agents and advancing technology.

If you have a question or topic you would like explained, a story to share, or just a quick useful tip, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your responses to tina@agencyadvantage.com.

 How to.. Copy and Paste

There are two very useful shortcut keys you can use on your computer that will allow you to copy and paste within The Agency Advantage.

Ctrl+C = Copy  (The Ctrl key and the C key at same time)
Ctrl+V = Paste  (The Ctrl key and the V key at same time)

These shortcuts actually work in any windows application. Simply locate the text that you wish to copy, highlight it, then press Ctrl+C on your keyboard.

In this example we're copying the VIN for this vehicle.

Next, go to the field or document where you would like to paste. In this case we're going to paste it in a Note. Place your cursor where you would like the text pasted.

Next press Ctrl+V on your keyboard.

 

 Supported Download Companies

The Agency Advantage supports hundreds of download companies. All of our companies are certified for personal downloads, but there are a few that support commercial downloads as well.

Our website has the complete list of supported companies.

Most of the companies have either an I, T, or D next to their name. "I" stands for IVANS. This means they send their download files to an IVANS mailbox. The file sits in this mailbox until you initialize the IVANS program to pick them up.

"T" stands for TEAM-UP. TEAM-UP is a program similar to IVANS, however, it runs automatically for you. "D" stands for direct and it means that the company has their own software or you must download the files from their website.

Most of our companies use IVANS, however, TEAM-UP is becoming increasingly popular because of their high level of customer service.

These are a few of the companies certified for commercial downloads:

  • Progressive

  • Allied

  • Unitrin & Unitrin Specialty Lines

  • Westfield Insurance

  • Liberty Agency Markets

  • Merchants Insurance Group

  • Hartford Commercial (under construction but will be available by the end of the month)

If you currently write business with a company but do not see it on the list, we can generally get a company certified within a few days. For more information email our support staff.
