Top Technology Challenges for U.S. Commercial Insurance Agents and Brokers
U.S. commercial insurance shops are stuck in a tech time warp: creaky legacy management systems, siloed carrier portals, and duplication-heavy workflows burn staff hours and jack up E&O and cyber risk. Because AMS and CRM rarely play nice together, producers limp along on spreadsheets, automation is basically MIA, and any whiff of innovation stalls under a mix of “if-it-ain’t-broke” mind-sets and option overload. Toss in ransomware villains circling those unpatched servers and you’ve got an industry aching for a digital exorcism.
The fix is equal parts tech and culture: modern, cloud-first platforms that integrate quoting, policy, CRM, and client self-service; open APIs that nuke double entry; built-in automation for certificates, renewals, and comms; plus rock-solid security and user-friendly change management. That shopping list lines up almost item-for-item with what Strawberry Antler delivers with Debra—making it a straight-up antidote to the flip-phone-in-a-5G-world problem agents face today.

What is Agentic AI?
Agentic AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can make decisions and take actions on its own—for example, an insurance assistant that notices a policy is about to expire, emails the customer to renew, and updates the CRM without being told.
Agentic AI represents a significant evolution in artificial intelligence technology, functioning more like an autonomous employee than a simple tool. Unlike basic AI that responds to commands, agentic AI can make decisions, take initiative, and learn from experience while interfacing with various business systems. It accomplishes this through key capabilities including memory of past actions, forward planning, integration with existing software systems, and continuous learning.
