It had taken us a decade to try to replace our technology, and we hadn’t been successful. We were able to transform our core platform with Guidewire in 18 months.

How Gore Mutual Insurance Company engages, innovates, and grows efficiently
Established in 1839, Gore Mutual was one of Canada’s first property and casualty insurers. The company was founded on the idea of people working together to overcome adversity by protecting each other and their communities. That way of thinking is what has driven Gore Mutual’s ability to adapt to change over the years, and in turn achieve growth.
Gore Mutual has been on a transformation journey since 2019. It had been 180 years since its founding and the insurer remained a regional insurance company. Company leaders had a vision to become a digitally led, national insurer. That is where the Next Horizon strategy came in.
Next Horizon is the insurer’s 10-year vision to transform every aspect of its technology and enhance its product and operating model. Only a few years in and Gore Mutual has already seen tremendous success.
