Guidewire overview

What is Guidewire?

Your success drives everything we do at Guidewire

Insurers have long been poorly served by technology vendors who lacked understanding of the P/C industry, underestimated the complex challenges involved, or oversold and under delivered against insurers’ expectation. There had been many vendor failures, and insurers lacked options other than to wrestle with the limitations of their aging legacy systems. Guidewire provides powerful software, but that is only part of the solution. We also provide you with the delivery expertise to successfully implement the system and commit to supporting you in the long run.
