Modular Solutions Presents – The Wild West of Fragmented Legacy Systems: How MGAs Get Left Behind

Session Speaker: Braden Bosch Founder & CEO of Modular Solutions
Session Summary: Managing General Agents (MGAs) are unique by design; their strength lies in their specialization. They behave outside the traditional
insurance industry to serve consumers with niche products that traditional carriers can’t or won’t provide. As the MGA sector matures, expectations
are rising. Today’s MGAs require technology that is configurable, flexible, scalable, and built on strong data architecture to support operational excellence and future growth.
