What is "semci"

Single Entry Multiple Company Interface (SEMCI) is a computer system based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) which is used to submit the same information to multiple companies. The main application of the technology is the request of insurance quotes from several insurance companies at once, and the main users of the system are insurance agents. The system is an interface which connects the software of the agent to the software of multiple companies so that an inquiry can go to all the companies at once, whereas previously the agent would need to send the inquiry to the companies one at a time.
