Knowing the agency from in and out, from its weaknesses and strengths, and from their employees and their managers, should be well defined. This is in order to know what kind of insurance agency management software is needed to do all the necessary help and work for various tasks. This can make it easier to narrow down prospective providers and the features of their products.
There are about seventy and more software that are available in the market and each one of them has their specifications and functionalities. Also, choosing one would also mean choosing a company which is the provider of these management software. Try to know more about this company and see if it matches with the ideals of the agency.
There are some providers that are willing to give, or it is part of their package, to perform tutorials, seminars, or classes to the new and current employees of the agency. This should be known before purchasing, since it could help making the dissemination of information faster and training to be more effective when done by the actual providers. Although some would just give out a manual and would leave the rest to be learned through it.
The requirements for their software should also be determined already whether their upgrades require additional cost or it is a one time package. The hardware is most of the time undermined due to the fact the current computers may not be able to give optimal function to these applications. Consider these well and especially for future expansion and upgrades.
The features, tools, and other capabilities of the software are generally the same but can vary greatly depending on the customization and the needs for each agency. That is why there was a mention on knowing the agency from in to out in order to get an idea what kind of features are needed. This can then be asked to the provider if they can give all those features.

That is why it should be determined already what the provider can offer in terms of security in their applications. Ask for the level of security and as to what various threats are able to be blocked.
Scalability is important especially for the growth of smaller agencies. It should offer flexibility whether there is minimal or huge amounts of data entries and the software should be able to cater to both. Factors like speed of the workflow, allowable hardware upgrade, and many others, should be thought of as well.
The affordability of these applications is, of course, the main concern for all agencies. The payment system should be determined whether it is a one time purchase or a timely purchase, whether monthly, quarterly, or annually. Also, take note of the charges they have for specific upgrades or additional features.
