    AMS seems to have an identity crisis. How many more different ‘parts’ are they going to buy? Vertafore is the Dr. Frankenstein of the industry – I wonder how they manage to get all these different aquired ‘solutions’ to work together so well? Fire – BAD!

    Hey – when you find the best solution out there, why try to re-invent the wheel. AMS is positioning themselves as the first choice of insurance agencies to solve their problems.

    No – I don’t work for AMS.

    Ray,

    Its not buying good solutions thats the issue…thats smart. Its what AMS does after, sucking the companies dry and leaving empty shells, jobless people, and unfulfilled promises in their wake. In the end, they hurt the employees, the agents, and ultimately the consumer. There are hundreds of folks who worked at these places, now closed job sites.

    Why don’t we ask the customers at Rackley, PS4, RiskRater, CBDDoc, Imageright, IRSAims, Prime, Agena, Instar, Cutom Insurance, Silverplume, etc. etc. if they are better off than they were before? Frankenstein indeed.

    Hey,

    Why don’t we ask Savage, Windsor, Fremont, Beachwood, Bolivar, College Station, Farmington, Boston, Idaho Springs, Austin Micro, Atlanta, Seattle, and Towerstreet if working for AMS was a good thing? Oh, and don’t forget the folks in India that tried to program rates for AMS.

    The only ones that I know are better off are the IIX folks who were sold to ISO.

    Why don’t we ask those customers? It was my experience that customers fared worse after AMS purchased a company…

    Why is the buyer always the “bad guy”. No one twisted the seller to sell their business. They sold for the “almighty dollar” with no regards to what happens to their employees. The owners sell the company in walk off in the sunset with the “bucks”.

    I am not an employee or stockholder of either company.

    Rackley – Dead in the water
    Allenbrook – down 1400% since acquision (yes, loosing money)
    CIS – allmost on the way out
    InStar – no product innovation in works & users are POed & User’s group down 43%
    Prime – office closed, losing market share since purchased
    Producer Plus – down 300% since acquision…
    any Highlights anyone can think of… or just bodies in the wake?
    Support is horrible & I’m tired of it
