Left Arrow

Founded in 2001, Guidewire is a publicly traded company (NYSE: GWRE) that delivers a platform that property and casualty (“P&C”) insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently. Customers ranging from new ventures to the largest and most complex insurers in the world, rely on Guidewire products 1.

Our Global Workforce Map 

With core systems leveraging data and analytics, digital, and artificial intelligence (“AI”), Guidewire defines cloud platform excellence for P&C insurers. Our technology platform and suite of products are designed to help our customers improve their operations; drive greater digital engagement with their customers, agents, and brokers; and gather, store, and analyze data to improve business decisions.

Since our initial public offering in January 2012, we have increased the scope of our platform, products, and business through internal development and acquisitions. This growing scope has required greater investment in the development of application interfaces and shared services necessary to unify the operations and user experience across our applications. The prioritization of cloud-delivered solutions has also required significant focus in improving our ability to manage, secure, and operate our applications since our cloud-based deployments, unlike our self-managed implementations, shift many operational responsibilities to us.

We have also invested in research and development efforts focused on enhancing our platform, services, and products to meet the complex requirements of P&C insurers with particular emphasis on capabilities, operational efficiency, data analytics, security, and privacy in the cloud. We also invest significantly in developing our products and necessary integrations to meet international market requirements, including regulations, language, currency, and local terminology, of each country or state in which our customers operate. Our investments in cloud operations are focused on managing the infrastructure for our cloud-based customers in a secure, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

Products and Technology

  • Our core products include InsuranceSuite (which includes PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and ClaimsCenter) and InsuranceNow.
  • Our digital engagement products enable digital sales, omni-channel service, and enhanced claims experiences for policyholders, agents, vendor partners, and field personnel.
  • Our analytics offerings enable insurers to manage data more effectively, gain insights into their business, drive operational efficiencies, and underwrite new and evolving risks.

In fiscal year 2025, our annual revenue was $1.2 billion 2, 24.6% of which was invested in research and development, and our global headcount was 3,772. We attribute our success to, among other things, our core principles of integrity, rationality, and collegiality as well as our growth strategy, which is focused on selling our products to customers around the world, increasing market acceptance of our cloud-based offering, and aligning with or strategically acquiring companies with software, cloud-based services, technology, or businesses complementary to ours.
