Have any of you run into this - I do some part time consulting with agents evaluating systems - sometimes they change - sometimes they stay. I deal primarily with smaller agents (under 10) and something is really troubling -
Vertafore just quoted an agent $2500 to get their 360 data - this is less than a year after of paying thousands to go from Prime to 360 - 360 was never a fit for the agency but you know how pushy they are to move people off of old platforms (have fun qq users) . And because of the attachment encryption it could be even more -
I have seen QQ make agents wait over 30-40 days to get their data - Hawksoft doesn't have a convertible database - believe it or not Applied is the best at this but still charge too much.
Whose data is it? It is shameful of these vendors to take advantage of their customers this way. Agents signing up for systems should get that clarified before choosing a new system. And why doesn't the high priced consultants ever make this an issue (well I actually know the answer to that one - buttered bread and all)
