For those of you who loved The Da Vinci Code, I have a provocative question. What if someone discovered the Holy Grail and nobody cared? What if this object of obsession was left to gather dust in a museum, and no one paid it any attention? Sound as implausible as the premise of Dan Browns best-selling novel? Perhaps not, if you consider the insurance industrys sad example when it comes to its own holy grail–SEMCI.
With single-entry, multi-company interface, basically were talking about the ability of agents to shop and service accounts via one management system, without having to re-enter data or cope with a multitude of proprietary insurer Web sites.
Perhaps SEMCI has yet to be unearthed in one piece, as there are still far too many technical hurdles to overcomemost of them artificial–for agents to truly have open access to all carriers. But many of the fragments have been discovered. All you must do is put the pieces to work.
