The Agents Virtual Community (AVC™) was created to make it easier for Independent Agents to service customers through the use of "once and done" technology. As an AVC member you will enjoy the following benefits of "once and done" technology plus much, much more. The benefits of the AVC include:

	Consolidating carrier applications, third party service providers and useful industry resources into one easy to use interface.
	Leveraging the security and single sign-on convenience of the AVC's digital certificates.
	Allowing policyholders and claimants the ability to access their information through the InsureAnswer Web site. Participating agents can integrate InsureAnswer into their own Web site to offer 24x7 self service to their policy and claims information.
	Accessing the Registry of Motor Vehicles system quickly and easily.
	Leveraging the Insure to Value program to ensure the correct homeowners "Coverage A" amounts using the XNET system from Marshall/Swift Boeckh.
	Processing new business and endorsement transactions quickly and efficiently through AVC SEMCI. This application allows for new business AL3 uploads from agency management systems and uses "Smart Edits" to ensure that new business and endorsement policy information will process cleanly overnight after it has been received by a carrier.
	Expanding training programs with the AVC University.
	Improving customer service for your insured with the ability to schedule appointments with member glass repair shops, rental car agencies and collision repair shops while they wait.
	Accessing member insurance carriers and their proprietary applications online.
