Yes, because all the processes are integrated in one central system and the system is available on the Web. It is not important where the user physically sits. Much more important are the user permissions: depending on the permissions the user can work either
  • as a broker and make offers
  • or as a clerk and process applications.

The transfer from the application process to the contract administration process is called “put in force”. The put in force process is responsible for checking that all the rules are respected and consistent: only at this moment an application becomes a contract.
