Allianz Insurance plc, one of the largest general insurers in the UK, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products for general (Property/Casualty) insurers, today announced that Allianz Insurance is now using Guidewire ClaimCenter® to supplement its claims management systems.

Allianz Insurance sought a system based on a modern technology platform that could help provide better visibility into claims operations, improve data analytics and reporting capabilities, and standardize claims handling processes.

"We have a major opportunity to make a positive impression on our customers depending on how well we handle their claims. Guidewire ClaimCenter will help us expand this capability and complement our existing systems,” said Graham Gibson, Claims Director, Allianz Insurance plc.

“We have been very impressed with the way Allianz implemented ClaimCenter utilizing in-house resources,” said Keith Stonell, Managing Director EMEA, Guidewire Software. “The Allianz team’s knowledge of their internal systems, and willingness to embrace Guidewire technology has meant that the project went extremely quickly and has been met with enthusiasm by claims handlers.”

Guidewire ClaimCenter is a leading end-to-end claims management system, built from the ground up to meet the specific needs of today’s General (property/casualty) insurers. ClaimCenter’s flexible business rules enable insurers to refine claim handling practices in order to optimise and monitor claim processes.
