OneShield to Launch Industry's First AI Hub to Accelerate Safe and Scalable Insurance Innovation
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., August 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OneShield, a leading provider of core insurance technology solutions for property and casualty insurers and MGAs, today announced the launch of the OneShield AI Hub, the industry's first centralized environment for the secure development, deployment, and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions within the insurance software ecosystem. The AI Hub will serve as a centralized, secure environment where OneShield team members, clients, and partners come to learn, build, and deploy AI solutions tailored to the OneShield ecosystem. At launch, it will provide internal teams with a foundational set of AI agents and tools powered by large language models (LLMs), enabling the safe, secure, and accelerated delivery of high-impact use cases. Doug Moore, Chief Innovation Officer, described the AI Hub as a breakthrough in how AI solutions are being designed with industry-standard interoperability. "What makes the AI Hub special is its intentional design for interoperability and scale," Moore said. "By grounding our use cases in Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) standards, we're not just automating, we're laying the foundation for a truly intelligent, collaborative ecosystem across carriers, MGAs, and third-party tools." The OneShield AI Hub will house use cases currently in development across the company's core product lines: OneShield Enterprise (OSE) and OneShield Market Solutions (OMS). Liza Petrie, President of OneShield Enterprise (OSE), highlighted the transformational potential of one of the first use cases: "We're leveraging AI to rethink how we configure and deploy products fundamentally. One of our first use cases leverages an AI agent that can parse and structure SERFF filings in minutes. What once took hours of manual effort now takes seconds, and this is just the beginning." Rex Blazevich, President of OneShield Market Solutions (OMS), emphasized how the AI Hub will streamline delivery while amplifying the value of existing work: "AI use cases like automated claims triage and intelligent policy summarization are already underway. What the AI Hub gives us is a shared foundation of tools, security, and governance that accelerates delivery while ensuring quality and compliance." Tony Villa, CEO of OneShield, added, "I am excited to show our customers and partners the future of insurance technology being built by the OneShield team. I look forward to seeing how the AI Hub transforms not only how we build and deliver software but also how we empower insurers to operate faster, smarter, and with greater agility than ever before. This is more than a technology launch; it's the start of a new era of intelligent insurance operations." About OneShield OneShield provides business solutions for P&C insurers and MGAs of all sizes.

Bay County Safety Action Plan analyzes dangerous roadways and potential solutions
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay County officials are zeroing in on high-crash roadways and intersections. On Tuesday, June 3, commissioners approved and adopted the Bay County Safety Action Plan. It identifies 100 high-injury locations and outlines tailored engineering solutions. It is a part of Florida's Target Zero Initiative, a statewide effort to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Some high-risk locations include the Hathaway Bridge, portions of U.S. 98, U.S. 231 and State Road 77. A study from 2019 to 2024 found that 45% of fatal or serious injury crashes occur at night, and 39% occur at signalized intersections in Bay County. A major part of the safety action plan is increasing visibility at high-risk intersections. That includes pedestrian infrastructure upgrades like high-visibility crosswalks. 'We were a rural community. We've grown in a lot of areas that were rural before suburban. Now, some places were suburban or urban. We just go from a standpoint of lighting, and that's something that should not be as costly as certain other improvements. And so, by getting some lights put into certain areas, we're able to improve visibility with traffic flow. We've got a lot of tourists coming into town, just allowing for people to have better visibility and see at night,' District 4 Commissioner Doug Moore said. Other recommendations for reducing accidents include implementing traffic calming measures like roundabouts and speed reductions. Officials are also considering potential increases in signage, applying high friction surface treatments to reduce skidding and improving turn lane structure and signal timing to reduce left-turn and angle crashes. As Bay County continues to grow, the safety action plan will allow for further improvements. 'The safety action plan that's being endorsed today by the commission lays the groundwork for future grant opportunities under that same program. It's required that we complete the safety action plan to start with. And from that point forward, we can design and propose additional projects for which we can receive grant funds,' Bay County Traffic Engineering Division Manager Cliff Johnson said.

Bay County OKs FDOT grant for road resurfacing and other improvements
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay County Commissioners approved a $3.3 million 'Small Community Outreach Program' or SCOP grant. It will fully fund a resurfacing project of County Road 2321 from U.S. 231 to the Deer Point Lake Dam Bridge. The grant will also cover other improvements like turn lanes, guardrail installation, drainage upgrades and audible and vibratory treatments. The project is a part of a larger initiative to alleviate traffic and create safer roadways in the area. The Titus Road and Star Avenue roundabout is set to be advertised in the next week or so. Officials say there will be a lot of coordination to accomplish both. 'It will work with some other projects that we've got going on in that area that are going to help alleviate traffic flow. That area is growing. And so, with that, it allows us to be able to manage traffic flow, be able to improve the roadway as it currently exists, but also add some improvements to it with some separate projects that are going to be ongoing that allow flow of traffic,' Bay County District 4 Commissioner Doug Moore said. Commissioners voted to accept the DOT grant today for the resurfacing project. The money should arrive sometime after July. The county does not have to supply matching funds.
