Ok, Yesterday I wrote about my issues with the insurance agency management systems that are available today. I know that as my company grows we will probably have to concede and move to windows, hire IT people and deal with the problems that all agencies have with technology. But for today, I have decided to go my own way. I signed up for salesforce.com and, though I like their platform, it really is not looking like it is for us. So I have decided to spend some time and run my business with great tools that I know and love. I will be using a relational database (filemaker backbone) and the web to manage my business. The only piece I’m still struggling with is the financial side of the business. I am going to use a boxed tool to do that for now. I don’t want to focus on technology. I want to focus on my clients and this overall approach is the only way for us to go, today. If anyone knows of a better solution please let me know.Jon
