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.

This session challenges MGA leaders to step into a more proactive, strategic role, offering practical insights on how to identify emerging risks, guide their brokers clients earlier, and deliver greater value as trusted risk partners with brokers.
