"At Vertafore, every innovation starts with understanding what our customers need to do their best work," said Amy Zupon, CEO at Vertafore. "That perspective shapes everything we build, from practical AI to core digital systems that help insurance organizations adapt faster and grow smarter."

Embedding AI into the systems insurance professionals trust

Vertafore serves 98 of the top 100 independent agencies, 96 of the top 100 carriers and 85% of the fastest-growing MGAs. That reach gives the company a unique view of the industry's evolution and what organizations need from technology, especially in the age of AI.

As insurance organizations accelerate AI adoption, they need technology that solves real business challenges and fits seamlessly into the way they already work. Vertafore embeds AI directly into the core workflows agencies, MGAs and carriers rely on every day, freeing insurance professionals to focus on tasks that require their expertise and knowledge.

That strategy comes to life through recent innovations, including:

The Vertafore Velocity™ AI Platform, the foundation for the company's expanding portfolio of agentic AI capabilities across AgencyOne^®, MGA solutions and Sircon^®. Recently available Velocity AI agents include: the Email Agent, the Reconciliation Agent, the Submission Processing Agent and the Benefit Plan Agent.

Insurance professionals get clear, verified answers up to 80% faster, supporting more consistent decision-making across underwriting, service and client interactions.

"We're applying AI in a connected way: reducing duplicate work, moving information between systems, surfacing insights at the right point in the workflow and helping employees act faster with better context," said James Thom, chief product officer at Vertafore. "It is not about adding AI for its own sake. It is about using AI to make tasks, decisions and information move more efficiently across sales, servicing and operations."
