“Having our PCs and Servers proactively backed up as part of Vertafore's DaaS Managed Service offering provides us with peace of mind. We no longer have to worry about disaster readiness and reactively managing servers, and can rest easy knowing that our agency is on a cost-efficient solution that helps us focus on productivity and selling insurance” says Andrew Maceda, Jr., a lead systems administrator at The Coughlin Group.

The new offering from Vertafore enables agents to retain their own personal desktop operation system and application experience, while under the security and management of Vertafore's specialists on the Amazon cloud. As agencies opt to move from their desktops to the cloud for various purposes, DaaS is helping agencies maintain and update any and all hosted desktop requirements, including software updates, configuration and password management.

Best suited for independent agencies at their threshold with desktop and hardware capital expenses, or for those considering a technology upgrade, Vertafore asserts that the service would help reduce the ample resources devoted to technology management, freeing up both time and money for agencies, allowing them to focus on business growth.

The solution is offered to all agencies, regardless of what agency management system they use.

“The cost of DaaS technology is now less than buying a PC. Modern agencies have an opportunity to reallocate significant funds to enhance more critical agency operations,” said Steven Finch, vice president of Strategic Solutions. “We provide a comprehensive portfolio of cloud services to help agencies and other insurance businesses easily transition their desktops or other business critical software to the cloud. Vertafore's DaaS offering is a simple, secure and effective step in embracing cloud technologies, and allows agencies to free themselves from the grips of the PC stronghold.”
