ALEXANDRIA, VA, November 21, 2019—Veruna is the newest company partner of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America’s Agents Council for Technology (ACT).
 
“ACT is all about meeting independent insurance agents’ need for simple, cutting-edge solutions to better manage their agencies and serve their customers,” says Ron Berg, ACT executive director. “Veruna shares that goal, which is why we believe our partnership with this up-and-coming company will bring valuable opportunities for Big ‘I’ members.”

Insurance technology innovator Veruna (www.veruna.com) has developed an agency management system built on the Salesforce platform that lets independent agents say goodbye to confusing interfaces, poor usability and the patchwork of uncoordinated systems. Veruna provides a natively mobile interface, agile model, and customizable functionality to streamline new business sales, security, account management and more.

“Veruna was started with the intent of empowering agents through automation,” said Jon Lincoln, founder and chief product strategist for Veruna. “We share that mission and the desire to expand the role of agents in the insurance value chain with the Big ‘I’ and ACT, and are pleased to be a part of this organization going forward.”

Founded in 1896, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”) is the nation’s oldest and largest national association of independent insurance agents and brokers, representing more than 25,000 agency locations united under the Trusted Choice brand. Trusted Choice independent agents offer consumers all types of insurance—property, casualty, life, health, employee benefit plans and retirement products—from a variety of insurance companies.

The Agents Council for Technology (ACT) was established in January 1999 by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”) to provide a candid, action-oriented forum to address the critical workflow and technology issues facing the independent agency system. ACT helps participants understand the perspectives of the other stakeholders in the process and provides excellent networking opportunities with the participants who are shaping the future for the industry on these issues.
