How
much does SEMCI
PARTNER cost?
S.I.S.
makes every
attempt to
provide
excellence in
insurance
technology at
a fair
price.
As an agency management
package, we
offer several
options and
package
prices.
In general
there are
several
factors that
go into
pricing such
as the size of
your agency,
and what
functions you
want, starting
at three
thousand,
along with a compulsory
monthly
support
fee. A
full
assessment of
your
needs
will be
conducted
during the
sales process
to provide an
effective plan
for
installation,
training and maintenance.
With that plan
our sales
specialists
can create a
proposal that
meets your
needs upon request.

Now
that company
websites offer
customer
look-ups, why
do I need an
agency management
package?
The
insurance
industry is
ever changing
and we want to
deliver a
viable product
that changes
with the
industry. That
is why we now
offer WebLink
(click
here for more
info).
However, while company
web sites seem
to offer some
features, they
cannot
completely
satisfy the
needs of an
independent
agency who has
a variety of
companies and
clients to
service and
support.
With SEMCI
PARTNER you
will benefit
by having your
entire
client and
policy details
in one place,
and be able to
mine the data
at your finger
tips.
Conduct client
reviews, run management
reports and
track
production on
your whole
book . . . use
the knowledge
that you gain
to cross sell
and increase retention rates.

How does SEMCI
PARTNER
compare to the
competition?
Since 1995,
SEMCI
PARTNER has
grown to
become one of
the leading
systems . . .
not just by
providing all
the features
but also by
backing it up
with our
commitment to
service,
support and
efficiency.
Therefore you
could find
cheaper
products as
well as more
expensive
products in
the market
today.
By proving our
worth to the
thousands of
customers we
have today in
nearly 40
states, we are
confident that
what we do, we
do it
well. We
provide a good
value to
agencies who
require
excellence in
insurance technology.

What ACORD
forms come
with the
system?
All
the ACORD
forms are
included with
SEMCI
PARTNER.
You can choose
to print blank
forms or
include
client/policy details.
back
to the top
Are
the ACORD
forms fully
integrated?
Yes,
you can fill a
selected ACORD
form - whether
it is a loss
notice,
application,
certificate of
liability or
other with
selected
policy
details. back
to the top
Are
the ACORD
forms current?
We
keep our ACORD
forms current
through
electronic
updates,
free.
This makes it
simple for our
agents to stay
on top of
their game
with minimal effort.
back
to the top
Can
I email or fax
blank or
completed
forms to
clients or
companies?
Because
SEMCI
PARTNER has
been designed
on a true
windows
platform
letters and
forms can be
faxed and
emailed
directly by
using a third
party
software.
Once your agency
has faxing software
loaded, you
can choose to
print any
ACORD form or
letter via the
fax device from
the standard
Windows
'select a
printer'
box. For
emailing,
there are
several PDF
(portable
document file)
software
options to
use.
Once the ACORD
form or letter
has been
created as a
PDF file, you
can select to
save the PDF,
print or email
the file. It's
that easy.

What sort of
management
features and
accounting do
you offer?
The
true value of
an agency
management
system is
found in the
ease of use
for the
features that
help you
manage your
office.
Plenty of
contact
management and
customer
relationship
building
features are
included with SEMCI
PARTNER.
Some of the
more beneficial
features
include our
Marketing
queries,
letters,
reminders, and
Management
reports that
help you to
not only
retain good
customers, but
also grow your
business.
For
your
accounting
needs, PARTNER
PLUS+
is integrated
with SEMCI
PARTNER as an optional
accounting
package that
offers a full
chart of
accounts and
streamlines
the typical
agency
bookkeeping needs.

Apparently
you only offer
one agency
system, why?
S.I.S.
promises to
deliver the
'best of
breed' agency
management
system to our
clients, and
follow that up
by delivering
what we
promise.
That is why
upgrades to
SEMCI PARTNER
are included
in the fees
that are
paid.
With keeping
all our
customers on
the same
version of our
product, our
support staff
are always
keyed into the
needs of
agencies when
they call and
can easily
expedite
solutions and
answer
training questions.

How much time
should I plan
for getting up
and running
with your
system?
There
are many cases
where SEMCI
PARTNER was
installed and
functioning in
a week,
however we are
careful not to
over promise
and not
deliver.
This is a
great
advantage over
some of our
competitors.
Your agency
will have the
opportunity to
discuss your
hardware
setup, any
data
conversion and
initial policy
loads from
your writing
companies
before you
begin so that
once those
details are
assessed we
can more
accurately
estimate the
installation
timing.
Typically, we
can schedule
and complete
your
installation
and the other
components
within 10 to
30 days.
