In the Spring of 2009, AgencyPort conducted a one-month, 1,500-mile, 66-stop Agent Insight Tour to determine which technologies are succeeding (and which are not) in moving the industry from paper to online—what challenges still exist and what steps the market must take to improve the way insurance is transacted. The 20-page report details feedback and suggestions from hundreds of agents and covers virtually all topics relevant to agent/carrier connectivity for commercial, personal and specialty line of P&C insurance.

During the tour we covered a lot of miles, and even more subject matter. Here are just a few of the problems we heard from Agents:
