Increasing the number of carriers to offer real-time capabilities should be the industry's highest priority according to a survey of insurance agency and brokerage professionals.

47 percent of respondents to the Real Time/Download Campaign's 2013 Agency Technology survey asserted that this should be considered a "Top 3" priority from a field of 13 possible enhancements, and similarly, 48% regarded real time capabilities as having a priority rating of a "5" on a 1 to 5 scale.
