Several years ago, Wellington Associates, Inc., in Jackson, Mississippi, learned firsthand how IT concerns could hamper the business of an agency. Principal/owner Pam Wellington: “We had been down three days due to a virus. At that time, it cost us a lot of money to upgrade our server. . . We were dealing with patches, we were dealing with updates. This became quite burdensome. So I was ready to get out of the computer business and back in the insurance business. . . We are glad we’re TAMOnline users.” Hear more of Wellington’s story.

Remote connectivity provides flexibility, peace of mind
“Each office can view our entire database, and we can chat from whichever office we’re in,” says Hitzeman. “That saves tons of time.” Agency principals appreciate TAMOnline’s flexibility, allowing them to track day-to-day operations from wherever their travels take them. Hitzeman says the agency enjoys a broad base of potential employees because they are allowed to choose working from home. “Employees tend to drift into the system from home on holidays and weekends,” Hitzeman says. "They will just have a thought they want to check, and there they are in the system.” Another significant plus: Disaster planning is done. “We could have an office totally destroyed tonight and start business in the morning from anywhere, because most employees have computers at home,” Hitzeman says. “They log on from home, and we are back in business. Now that’s peace of mind.”
Cost saving makes the system ideal That’s the succinct assessment of TAMOnline offered by Alan Harkabus at White Park & Rumford in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. TAMOnline has saved money for Harkabus’s 19-user agency. Harkabus says the system has dramatically reduced hardware costs over the six years the agency has used the system: No more need for expensive file servers, and workstations don’t have to be replaced as often. Also, Harkabus said, the online system made it easier for White Park & Rumford to go paperless. The agency migrated to TAMOnline after seven years on LAN TAM. “TAMOnline is great, and the support is great,” says Harkabus, current president of the Vermont/New Hampshire users group.
