Why agencies prefer Sonant
Voice AI + Applied TAM:
Better Together
Sonant is an AI receptionist for P&C insurance agencies with native integrations to Applied Systems products. Sonant handles inbound calls 24/7 and syncs data to your agency management system.
Applied TAM (The Agency Manager) is Applied Systems’ legacy AMS, first released in 1983 as the first-ever agency management system. It serves small to mid-size P&C agencies with policy management, carrier downloads (IVANS), ACORD forms, commission tracking, and workflow automation. TAM is the second most widely used management system in the world.
Important context: Applied Systems is actively encouraging TAM agencies to migrate to Applied Epic or EZLynx. TAM has been formally sunset in Canada and is no longer receiving new features in the US. Sonant integrates with both Applied Epic and EZLynx, supporting agencies through their transition.
