How a supplier 'solutions of software of S approach the sector of the insurances 'the single exits of S

In an effort to be established in the sector of the insurances as leading vendor of the solutions of software, the software of Callidus, San Jose, California (the USA) - supplier based of the encouraging solutions of the management of the output of sales (SPM) and management of company (EIM), launched a continuation of product to approach the single exits that the insurance companies must face regularly. For basic, see please how can the insurance companies maintain and reward the true producers?

Thus what 's the solution, then?

Logically, a unified continuation of solution which provides the administration of producer, encouraging management, and packed up the analytics at a place would be ideal. Such a system should provide bidirectional, sights of 360 degrees of essential information of producer (such as demography, the contracts, and the qualifications detailed), who is essential for carriers if they are to provide the maximum level of the service to the producers. Moreover, the capacity to quickly modify hierarchies and calendars of payment of contract would make sure that producers are paid correctly and per hour, as well as justify them for suitable cross-country race and the worms the high-sale of the packages of product. The continuation should even show sophistication enough to control the many types of hierarchies required for the captive agents and of not-captive, which is necessary for the activities of insurance which have the two types of producers.

An integration tightened between counterparts EIM and the management systems of producer should provide

* costs reduced for the carriers which serve as the producers, by consolidating the multiple points of administration (i.e., hierarchy, qualifications, and any other information of producer);

* the best seen and analytics way of maintaining in an optimal way of the reports/ratios of producer based on the productivity and the execution of producer, improving of this fact the market share in a more profitable way;

* a on-loading faster and an increased exactitude of payment, due to single of the administration for the producer and the management of incentive; and

* reduced exposure of conformity by consolidating the systems of legacy and the multiple points of administration, and by providing a recording of historical audit simple of the data of producer.

In conclusion, a feature nice-with-to have would be if a solution could provide the possibilities above both on request and of on-places so that better a profitability, flexibility, and hour evaluates for various customers 'preferences. Some potential advantages of a so logical system to the administration of day in day of the producers of insurance can be traced with the three phases of SPM (see how can the insurance companies maintain and reward the true producers?). For one, the advantages of the phase of planning should come from a shaped process of businesses for new producers of on-loading, as by the support of the process of authorization via the service providers of authorization connected of insurance. Moreover, of the advantages should be seen to put pursuant to new hierarchy of contract and bill books of refunding more easily, by which the objects with effective date labels hold account for a recording of audit and updates constantly.

The advantages resulting from the production run should include a reduction in cost to maintain the channels of distribution with the integrity of the data centralized of information and producer. This would be accomplished by imposing the validation of data and by providing a recording of audit, where automated opinions of the expired licences, appointments, continuing education, and contracts would be sent to the alert users. Advantages should also be seen qualifications validated during the computing processes of commission when the solution is integrated with a system of EIM, such as Callidus TrueComp. When the constant visibility is added with what precedes to mix-quest, a sight of 360 degrees of all the data of producer (who includes such an information like appointments, demography, contracts, continuous education, qualifications, licences, and bill books of refunding) - the end result should be greater fidelity of the independent producers and prisoners (due to the improved service provided by the carrier). Moreover, the carrier can analyze the execution of producer indeed.

The software of Callidus TrueProducer aims at reducing the cost to maintain the channels of distribution and to rationalize the administration of producer in order to improve the conservation of agent and to provide to producers the best possible service. The product is a result of Callidus 'of wide experiment of S with customers in the finance departments and the sectors of the insurances.

The continuation, intended to control insurance companies 'channels, offers six modules to which allow the carriers collectively more easily control the administration of day in day of their producers in a simple system like providing increased possibilities of compensation (such as hierarchies, businesses of special, advances of complex, and the management of debt) not generally necessary in other industries. Moreover, they are the strategic tools for executive management. They make it possible executives to include/understand the total activity of channel, to detect and analyze the profitability through the chain of distribution, and to improve the plan and to optimize their strategies of distribution. The modules of TrueProducer include

2. Qualification-for automating the process to acquire the legal qualifications for a producer. The module controls licences, appointments, and continuing education, and provides the statute in real-time of qualifications to Callidus TrueComp or other systems of third.

3. Producer Contract-for reports/ratios of payment of producer and control programs of rate. The programs of rate can be created and. on up to date request of. with the course of operation of approval, whereas characteristics of the product a user interface simplified and based on WEB (UI) for users of .level of technician (CSR).

4. Financing and Debt-for the computer-assisted management and ad hoc of the debt of producer. The multiple debt of supports of system types and provides sights of debt to the company, to the producer, or the policy-level.

5. producing of 360 degrees Sight-like a consolidated system of disc for the information of producer. The module can control channels, companies, and various producers (though while segmenting companies and individuals).

6. The insurance brings back and Analytics-provides users in insurance-specific ratios and instrument panels for Callidus TrueInformation and Calldus TrueAnalytics. The module prolongs Callidus TrueComp 's Datamart and offers ratios pre-built for the producers and the internal personnel, and of the instrument panels with indicators of principal execution of insurance (KPIs) and alarms.


As already indicated, Callidus 'the offer of the market of insurance of S provides to integration the software of Callidus TrueComp and other applications of company of third, including the access to the compensation, the resolution of conflict, the analytics, and to bring back data. To meet the needs for the administrators of producer, finance managers, and the personnel of sale (producing), Callidus offers a certain number of modules in its continuation of SPM for the insurance. To knowing, for the phase of planning, Callidus TrueProducer provides an automated process of on-loading, TrueComp modelling of the assistances to create more precise forecasts of producer, and TrueAnalytics provides better perspicacities in the productivity of producer.

During the production run, TrueProducer acts as a gate of self-service for producers and provides integration to the authorization of third and the management systems of qualifications, while TrueComp usually carries out more precise calculations and encouraging payments. As for the visibility and with transparency, constant sights of offers of TrueProducer of information of producer.

The solution on request or of on-places makes it possible an administrator to control all information on a producer in a place, and to have them that data exported towards other systems according to the needs. Moreover, its engine based on the rules of process of businesses makes it possible carriers to install processes of businesses around adding, to finish, or to update the information of producer.

Recommendations of user

While the market for applications of EIM and SPM still large is opened to the suppliers (who gives all the generic and horizontal suppliers the occasion to gain a balance in it), the solutions suitable for industry as Callidus TrueProducer are not to only placed regenerate-them the bar for new competition. To be right, Synygy a long time affirmed its expertise in the segment of insurance of health care (i.e., by calculating the commissions crafty ones on regulations of drug). But the supplier the 'complaint of S.A. to be made often more with the know-how of consultation of its personnel, not his software prepackaged with adapted reports/ratios, KPIs, and so on. Other players of EIM will have to decide in which particular industries to assert a right, and then to develop the solutions pareillement pointed.

The large ones and of intermediate size insurance companies in the life, health, and the sectors of property and accident in North America and Europe, like those with large, the independent channels of distribution or the captive agents, should evaluate and consider Callidus TrueProducer. That is worth particularly for the companies which always count on a combination of the inflexible systems of legacy and assessments annoying for complex encouraging plans of compensation. Such companies should choose so that the packed applications improve opportunity, exactitude, and the visibility of the commissions, the allowances, and other payments of producer. This option is particularly recommended if these companies are prone to the conformity and the meticulous examination of standardization, since no carrier would like to be caught using an unauthorized agent.

Practically all the carriers should seek manners easier to make deals with their producers and to ensure the soft interaction with them as bases for bearable, the competitive advantage and the advantageous growth. While TrueProducer is a very new product with only some first customers (who implies there could be some ramifications due to the solution with the 'immaturity of S), the first adopteurs could to the top of the relations ante for improved of carrier-producer and of the mutually salutary economic models compared with their lazy pars.

The existing customers of Callidus should check the recently revealed products and services (versions on request including) and consider them potential additions of value. These customers will have employed TrueComp to control calculations crafty ones and posed compensation, definitions of custom's area, channels of sales multitiered, nonstandard pyramidal increase of management, units of company various calendars or periods of wages, etc Although TrueProducer is independent of TrueComp (significance it can be deployed in an autonomous way), logically, he functions well within the framework of process of businesses of Callidus. It also provides some improvements to the rules of TrueComp and for the management of drain (debt). Like city previously, the solution includes some report and improvements of analytics with TrueInformation and TrueAnalytics.

It goes from oneself that the prospect customers should require references to dispute suppliers of EIM as for their size and to the industry which they maintain. Moreover, the suppliers must show qualifications with the personnel at the important companies of integration of system, as provide the formation and support it for the complete transfer of knowledge to the company of user to the 'personnel of S. Moreover, of the suppliers of EIM should be examined on their handling of the most complex plans of compensation, probably by employing data of model (resembling reality narrowly) of a possible user of the 'systems of S.
