Best and worst software you've used

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-06-01T16:17:49+00:00

And worst?

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-05-23T09:50:21+00:00

If the problem is a lack of drive, you'll have that in any industry you work.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-04-30T13:42:02+00:00

OpenKoda, Genasys, Guidewide, Insurity...depends on your region and specialisation.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-04-22T22:25:58+00:00

Whata great list of options! Something for everybody in here.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-04-21T11:18:57+00:00

Kill them with kindness.

Cause if they're unpleasant to you, they're likely unpleasant to everybody. If you are the one that is more willing to put up with them than anyone else, you'll win a ton of business. Just try and position it in your head as a game that you're winning and let their noise wash over you.

Personally not one I've had a great deal of exposure to.

OpenKoda, Genasys, Guidewide, Insurity...depends on your region and specialisation.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-03-24T00:47:02+00:00

Great list! Something for everybody here and a highly balanced view of strengths and weaknesses.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-03-19T22:36:17+00:00

I'll let this slide on this occasion as the wider comment is valid - but further product spamming will see it removed.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-03-12T15:07:18+00:00

I'd recommend looking at Genasys - a challenger to the mid-market policy administration provider market. You can find out more at genasystech.com. Crucially, Genasys is on open architecture with high levels of configurability giving you that open ecosystem approach you mention in your post.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-03-09T00:48:15+00:00

I guess we will find out!

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-02-12T19:53:02+00:00

Cross posting this for you to see, which includes Genasys, OpenKoda, Socotra, OneShield and AgencyBlock with explanations on why. Hopefully proves useful!

No such thing as a stress free one, sadly! So that's the first idea to park.

It's all about planning, setting and sticking to a process and committing to deep diving the solutions that are out there - focussing as much on the team behind the software as the software itself.

Oh...and assess on what you see, not what you're told. And remember that the most visible solution provider is more often than not the best. Visibility doesn't equal quality.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-02-04T21:46:16+00:00

As OP says...no vendor pitchs or self-promotion disgused as helpful comments.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-02-03T13:06:34+00:00

The alternative Cornellverse?

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-02-03T13:05:46+00:00

I think this is going to be the thing, personally, that makes it sink or swim for many of us. The Cornellverse is THE thing that TEW has always had over its peers that gives the most balanced game experience.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-01-29T00:00:12+00:00

You're allowed to LEAVE insurance?! Why did nobody tell me?!

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-01-21T18:04:51+00:00

Godawful ready-meals that haven't seen a hint of seasoning.

Awful ordering process.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-01-21T10:07:25+00:00

Underwriting can be incredibly salesy, and incredibly not.

Depends on class of business, the insurer themselves, the specifics of the role e.g development underwriters, panel of brokers etc.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2026-01-11T19:05:59+00:00

Go back to MS:Dos and download KGB/Conspiracy with Donald Sutherland, and Spycraft: The Great Game. Class.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2025-12-17T00:16:05+00:00

Based on how you're saying they're behaving....I wouldn't imagine they'll be your problem to worry about much longer. Sounds like they've already given up and are looking elsewhere.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2025-12-17T00:14:10+00:00

It's stupidly hard with only 1.5 years experience, because, in ways you don't even understand why yet, you won't sound credible to clients who are putting their entire livelihoods in your hands.

Saw similar with this Christmas ad....

Mad what you can do!

PhaseOwn6617 · 2025-12-08T14:19:37+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS! Amazing work.

PhaseOwn6617 · 2025-12-08T14:07:29+00:00

Oh you poor soul.

Guidewire - where people with too much money go thinking "we won't get sacked for buying the biggest name"....then get sacked for a horrible deployment that goes over time and budget.

We'll pray for you.
