I was wondering if anyone is still carrying Allstate as one of their companies. If so, have they updated completely to web base or are they making you still use a dos based. Since they are such a big company I would think they could completely move to a web base for the agents. Especially, since the direct site is very well put together. Thanks! AGENT CLINT

Hi Cyrus, Here's what I mean when I refer to dos. DOS-Acronym for disk operating system. The term DOS can refer to any operating system, but it is most often used as a shorthand for MS-DOS (Microsoft disk operating system) Allstate's interface for changes, payments, and endorsements(agents system) is on a DOS operating format that you connect through Citrix with. They have not completely changed to the web based(the Internet) I hope this clears it up a bit. THANKS! AGENT CLINT

Just going on what I have been told, I don't know anything about Allstate's system as far as their agents selling or making changes and what not, however to answer your question in the topic headline, I believe Allstate agents are all captive. I thought this was the case, but maybe not?
