Lane & Associates Nearly Triples Premium with ALIS DX

Background

Lane & Associates is a Louisiana-based independent surplus lines broker and MGA specializing in commercial and personal specialty lines. After acquiring the business in 2016, owner Scott Landry needed a modern, cloud-based platform to support growth without a large in-house IT function.

The Challenge: Replace Legacy Tech with All-In-One Platform

Following the acquisition, Lane & Associates was operating on outdated, disconnected systems that slowed processing and hampered strategic visibility. Landry identified the need for a platform that could:

• Replace legacy, fragmented tools with a modern, fully integrated MGA
  platform.
• Streamline quoting, policy issuance, accounting, and document
  management.
• Support significant growth without requiring additional IT investment.
• Manage carrier connectivity through APIs.

Deliver robust reporting and KPIs for informed, faster decision-making. The existing technology could not support the scale and operational efficiency required for the company’s growth strategy.
