Catalyit releases 2026 State of Tech Report<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Based on nationwide survey results, provides snapshot of how independent agencies are currently using technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big “I” partner Catalyit<\/a> has released their 2026 State of the Tech Report. Based on data from agencies across the country, this report provides a comprehensive look at how independent agencies use technology, where friction persists, and what high-performing agencies are doing differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results say that while technology adoption continues to grow, many agencies still face challenges with workflow efficiency, integrations, duplicate data entry, cybersecurity preparedness, change management, and AI governance. The report reveals a clear trend: the agencies gaining the most value from technology are focused on execution, not simply adding more software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re evaluating your current tech stack, planning future investments, or looking for opportunities to improve agency operations, Catalyit’s State of Tech Report offers valuable benchmarks and actionable insights to help guide your next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
