About Guidewire

Guidewire Software exclusively serves the P&C insurance industry. We build and implement the core systems on which insurance carriers run their businesses. Unlike the legacy systems they are designed to replace, Guidewire applications support the workflow, collaboration with external partners, and rule-based decision-making that characterize modern underwriting and claims operations.

Guidewire applications also:

  • Support personal, commercial, and workers compensation product lines;
  • Share a 100% web-based, Java technology platform; and
  • Are optimized for scalability and integration.

Our approach of marrying P&C insurance expertise with world-class software engineering has led analysts such as Forrester Research to describe Guidewire as a "disruptive entrant" to the insurance technology market.

We are especially proud of our upgradeable and extremely flexible technology, our unmatched level of customer success, and our leading market share of new system selections over the past two years. Our Professional Services consultants work on-site in partnership with you through successful implementation, while our Silicon Valley-based engineering team handles all product development.

Our Values

In every dimension of our business, we stand by our three founding principles:

  • Integrity: always tell the simple, forthright truth;
  • Rationality: make decisions based on facts and analysis; and
  • Collegiality: work as a team of expert professionals with a minimum of hierarchy.
