The Problem

Most agencies own Epic — but don't use it correctly. The result is messy data, inconsistent workflows, missed insights, and a system that costs more than it delivers.

AMS Data Migration

Moving to Epic?
Do It Right
the First Time.

Agency acquisitions are one of the most complex operational events in the insurance industry. When data needs to move from one AMS to another, the margin for error is zero.

Epic Optimizer provides end-to-end migration consulting — from the earliest proposal stages through go-live — ensuring your data arrives clean, your workflows are built for your agency's reality, and your team is ready to operate from day one.

This isn't just data transfer. It's a full operational transition, and it requires someone who understands both sides of the equation: the technical requirements of Epic and the business realities of running an agency through a major change.

Acquisition in progress? The earlier you bring in a migration specialist, the better the outcome. Early involvement during the proposal stage can save significant time, cost, and operational disruption down the road.
01

Proposal Advisory

Engage during the acquisition or platform decision stage. Assess data complexity, flag risks early, and help set realistic timelines and expectations before contracts are signed.

02

Data Assessment & Mapping

Audit the source system — whether it's AMS360, Hawksoft, QQ Catalyst, or another platform — and map data structures to Epic's schema. Identify gaps, duplicates, and cleanup requirements before migration begins.

03

Epic Configuration & Setup

Build out the Epic environment to receive migrated data correctly. Configure branches, departments, divisions, security groups, and code tables ahead of import to ensure data lands in the right place.

04

Workflow Design

Design workflows specific to the acquiring agency before go-live — not generic templates, but processes built around how this team actually operates, mapped to Epic's capabilities from day one.

05

Migration Execution & QA

Oversee the data import process, validate records post-migration, and resolve discrepancies before they become operational problems. Ensure policy, client, and financial data integrity throughout.

06

Go-Live Support & Training

Be on the ground — or on the call — when the switch flips. Train staff on the new environment, resolve issues in real time, and ensure the team is fully operational from day one.
