    Vertafore ReferenceConnect is well suited within an organization with many users, who are trying to turn out policy submissions and gain information quickly. It is also well suited for individuals who are trying to learn more specifically about classes of business, what types of insurance coverage is recommended, and what the policies are based on. It opened my eyes to a lot of exposures for class codes that I was not particularly aware of, due to the fact that I am a new agent, and I would recommend this be used for agents who have less than 5 years experience.

    • Sometimes the site navigation is not the most fluid.
    • Sometimes I get logged into a particular carrier's section and have to log out and log back in - not sure the reasoning.
    • It does not always recognize my description so finding the class code is sometimes harder than expected.

    Alternatives Considered
    Calero
    Calero may be a good choice for the organizations that are looking for a
    well-established and well-regarded solution specifically for telecom
    expense management, but may not be the best choice for organizations
    with broader IT cost optimization needs.

    Unfortunately, I have not used any additional software programs like Vertafore ReferenceConnect so I am unable to compare them. I do know that my insurance agency likes the capabilities that it has and is not looking for alternatives at this point - this can only speak to the benefit to the organization.
