Applied Systems Connects to MyLicence
Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 3 March 2015 -- http://www..appliedsystems.com/en-uk/ [Applied Systems __title__ ] today announced that http://www..appliedsystems.com/en-uk/solutions/managing-your-brokerage/applied-tam-uk/ [Applied TAM UK __title__ ], the most widely used brokerage management system in the world, will connect to the MIB Hub to use the MyLicence service. MyLicence will enable Applied TAM UK brokers to provide more accurate risk assessments for insurer premium pricing and will go live in Applied TAM UK Q2 2015.
UK brokers will be able to enter a consumer’s Driving Licence number into Applied TAM, which will be connected to the MyLicence service to obtain complete and accurate driving history directly from the DVLA database. This information – driving endorsements, entitlements and penalty points – is then submitted to insurers for use at point of quote. Through this secure integration, brokers will be better able to provide more competitive premiums to clients and remove the potential for policyholders to provide inaccurate driving history.
“Consumer data continues to grow at an exponential rate, providing key insurance industry stakeholders a critical opportunity to leverage this valuable information for more accurate risk-assessment and underwriting,” said Jeff Purdy, senior vice president of International Operations, Applied Systems. “By connecting Applied TAM to the MIB Hub and using the MyLicence service, brokers will be able to enhance their competitive value by offering lower premiums and quicker client servicing, further enabling business growth and profitability in today’s evolving marketplace.”
Neil Drane, Head of Database Services at MIB, added, “We’re very pleased to be welcoming Applied Systems to MyLicence. Applied Systems will be able to provide this quick and valuable data enrichment service to their clients, enabling brokerages and insurers to better mitigate fraud and provide a fairer, more accurate quote and renewal process for motorists.”
