Realization of direct calculations at agencies, and the maintenance of data, including contract details, are significant challenges in the insurance industry especially for insurers offering commercial insurance.

The company also selected the system for the depth and breadth of its functionality which will help streamline in-house operations and transactions with agents. Sompo Japan Nipponkoa was impressed with Guidewire’s global expertise gained through its work with insurers in over 20 countries around the world.
Mr. Osamu Fujino, general manager, Business Process Planning Department, Sompo Japan Nipponkoa, said “Because the business flow between agents, business offices, and back-office operations will become more automated, seamless sharing of information with sales agencies will become possible.”
