Brokers will have simplified access to the internet, said Misys Financial Systems, following its formation of a partnership with internet service provider (ISP) Business Serve.

Business serve will offer Misys brokers a range of ISP accounts tailored to Misys web solutions, which Misys said would allow brokers to do business online without worrying about web space, broadband or web hosting problems.

Misys General Insurance operations director Chris Guillaume said: "For the broker, the process of determining what you need from your ISP can be time consuming and confusing. More often than not, the broker ends up buying the wrong solution and coming back to us for help.

"By partnering with Business Serve, we aim to make access to the internet that much simpler and to ensure that brokers choose the right services, by leaving it to the technology experts."

Guillaume said the number of brokers seeing the internet as vital to their business meant Misys had to make access as easy and cost effective as possible.
