Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for managing at least one database in the insurance brokerage industry. A database is configured to store information regarding a plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects. The database is configured to allow access to brokers via the broker user interface logic. The brokers are permitted to add information in the database concerning the plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects. The database is configured to allow access to the service provider via the application service provider user interface logic. The service provider has a relationship with the brokers in which the service provider provides data management applications for the plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects.
Claims25
A computer-implemented data processing system comprising:
- a database, the database being configured to store information regarding a plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects;
- a file server coupled to the database;
- a broker user interface logic coupled to the file server, the broker user interface logic being configured to provide a broker user interface accessible to brokers from a client device, the broker user interface logic being configured to receive commands via a communications network from the client device to access a data file in the database and to permit the data file to be displayed as a local file in a file directory on the client device and to permit the brokers to add information in the database concerning the plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects;
- and
- an application service provider user interface logic coupled to the file server, the application service provider user interface logic being configured to provide an application service provider user interface accessible to a service provider, the service provider having relationships with the brokers in which the service provider provides data management applications for the plurality of insurance brokerage industry projects.
