Although the computer system provides faxing capability, an automatic follow-up system, word processing, and e-mail integration, the rep doesn't use them. He produces claims reports manually because he can't access the system's management reports.

... functional programs that interact with others without compromising quality. Whether employed by an insurance company or independent software vendor, software developers know that by using OLifE, their software creations will do more to help agents market insurance products and service their clients. Craig Badger, senior computer systems analyst for Prudential Insurance Co. of America's Individual Insurance Group, Roseland, NJ, is a charter member of the industry development group that helped bring OLE-based applications to Life.
