L’olivier Assurances will be leading the implementation and Guidewire PartnerConnect™ alliance member, Capgemini, and Guidewire will be supporting the project.

“One of the key reasons we selected Guidewire InsuranceSuite was because we were impressed with the rich features and completeness of the individual systems that make up the suite.
