Guidewire (GWRE - Free Report) recently announced that it has been selected by Golden Bear Insurance Company to implement its Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud.

The implementation process will be led by Blackcomb Consultants, a Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting partner.

By implementing Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud, Golden Bear plans to boost claims management, simplify IT operations, adapt to changing market demands and deliver more value to policyholders.

Guidewire ClaimCenter is a claims management system that uses AI and embedded analytics to reduce cycle times by optimizing talent, processes and resources.

Golden Bear will also have access to “Explore, Canvas, Compare, and Predict”, which will allow it to track and compare business performance, handle disasters more efficiently and better predict claim outcomes. The organization will also use CustomerEngage, ProducerEngage and VendorEngage functionalities to provide smooth omnichannel digital experiences to its policyholders, agents and vendors.

Golden Bear will leverage Guidewire Cloud to get day-to-day reports, dashboards and predictive analytics and models that can be compared with industry averages.
This will, in turn, facilitate real-time information that can be sent to the leadership team, underwriters and insureds to help them make better risk management decisions.

Previously, Guidewire was selected by Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance, Franklin Mutual Insurance, Cornerstone National Insurance Company and Tradition Mutual Insurance Company to automate and simplify its business processes.

The company’s subscription-based offerings are gaining from the robust adoption of the InsuranceSuite Cloud platform. Further, its focus on enhancing the Guidewire Cloud platform with new capabilities is expected to boost sales of subscription-based solutions in the long haul.
