"If you're a founder or operator looking to modernize your workflows and free yourself from repetitive manual work, this conversation should spark ideas about where to start." -Joseph Anderson, Connex Ecommerce Check out this super insightful dialogue between Connex Ecommerce CEO Joseph Anderson and Launchpad VP, GTM & Ventures, Jason Masciarelli. ⛓️‍💥 The old SaaS model is broken and build-it-yourself is no longer an option. Companies founded before the AI era are struggling to keep up with the demands of their clients and to adopt new technologies, like AI. ☀️ Good news: Companies can use Launchpad to accelerate their AI adoption within their software while eliminating tech debt - or use the platform to build new, AI-first products that drive real benefits for their customers.

This is a glimpse into future of Demo Automation with Agentic AI I've seen AI playing a role in the Presales/Solutions space for some time. Automating RFPs, injecting data, call recording software. The next phase is a layer deeper. It's helping us find problems, fix problems, and maintain our demo environments. It's writing the code that makes demos work - not just the click path. Both can be helpful, but in most of my time as an SE I've demo'd beyond a click path. We want AI to produce fully interactive environments that look and behave like the real thing - but are more reliable, predictable, and cost way less to spin up.

Picking the right Salesforce consulting partner is the difference between a stalled rollout and a rollout that drives real value. In our experience serving MGAs, MGUs and carriers, three factors matter most: 1. Industry focus A partner who understands underwriting workflows, rating engines and policy administration will spot pitfalls you didn’t know existed and suggest solutions that fit your model. 2. Change-management discipline Rolling out case management, automated quoting or customer portals isn’t just a technical project—it’s a people project. Your partner should have a proven process for aligning executives, underwriters and IT on a single roadmap. 3. ROI mindset Beware consultants who bill by the hour and stop once the code is “complete.” Look for a partner who ties every deliverable back to a metric—reduced manual touches, faster quote turnaround or higher renewal rates. When you bring those three together, you avoid costly rework, get user adoption on Day 1 and turn Salesforce into a platform that actually grows your book of business. If you’re an MGA, MGU or carrier evaluating partners, make sure their track record, methodology and commercial incentives all point toward your success—otherwise you’re building on sand. #Salesforce #InsuranceTech #MGA #MGU #Carrier #Consulting #DigitalTransformation #Underwriting #ROI #PolicyAdmin

After speaking at two recent events—first at the 2025 Nacha ACH Faster Smarter Payments Conference in New Orleans and then at Epicor Insights in Las Vegas for Aleran Software’s B2B commerce session—it’s clear that the #agentic AI payment & automation spaces are already evolving rapidly. While agentic AI will benefit nearly every sector, I believe the B2B mid-market manufacturing space holds some of the most significant near-term opportunities. Many organizations may not yet be ready to hand over control to autonomous AI agents, but it’s only a matter of time before doing so becomes essential for achieving hyper-productivity. To build trust and readiness, organizations must ensure their data is well-structured and their workflows clearly defined. This foundation is crucial for AI agents to make decisions at the level of a human expert. That’s why it’s critical to adopt a commerce platform and ERP that are not only purpose-built for your industry but also designed with AI at their core. #AI #B2Bcommerce #agentic
