Applied Systems operates a 1,000+ person SaaS business for insurance agencies and brokers, built on a Microsoft/.NET stack (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server) running on GCP with Kubernetes. The tech mix—ACORD standards, insurance-specific tools like Cytora, heavy CI/CD investment—reflects deep domain embeddedness.
