The data is out there. The challenge is how to amass it, standardize it and make it useful. Taylor Rhodes, CEO of Applied Systems, stopped by the On Point podcast with host Peter Aartrijk to talk about the future of data and artificial intelligence and what it will take to put it to work simply and effectively. Founded in 1983, Applied Systems has been around to see the evolution of modern tech from its earliest days.
The challenge could be coming from outdated systems that are not handling enough of the back-office tasks or are not equipped to manage today’s workflows. “Many of the challenges that independent agents face in the insurance industry are rooted in inefficient processes, unnecessary paperwork, long cycle times, and a disjointed means of sharing information,” says Anupam Gupta, chief product officer for Applied Systems.
