LONDON and SAN MATEO Calif., 2012年6月29日

Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of flexible core system software to general (Property/Casualty) insurers, today announced that Aviva, the largest general insurer in the UK, has selected Guidewire PolicyCenter® as its new underwriting and policy administration solution and Guidewire ClaimCenter® as its new claims management system for its core UK Commercial Lines business. Aviva UK will also be leveraging PolicyCenter for rating and reinsurance management.

Aviva sought to replace its existing claims and policy systems with one cohesive platform that would help streamline its underwriting, policy administration, and claims management operations for its UK general insurance operations. Aviva was looking to increase its business agility and bring new products to market more quickly to help it meet its IT and business goals.

“Finding the right partner to help us consolidate our existing underwriting, policy administration, and claims systems played a significant role in the selection process,” said Malcolm Simpkin, UK General Insurance CIO, Aviva UK.

“We are excited about the possibilities PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter will bring and believe this new technology platform will help us as we continue to grow our business,” continued Simpkin.

PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter will help Aviva to:

  • Leverage underwriting and claims handling best practices across its organisation to help reduce loss ratios and prevent underwriting and claims leakage;

  • Increase its business agility for long-term growth and changes as well as for reduced time to market for new products;

  • Create operational efficiencies through the consolidation of disparate systems; and

  • Enhance user experience and self-sufficiency (for both agents and customers) with the depth and breadth of the systems’ functionality and easy-to-use features.

“We are pleased to welcome Aviva to the Guidewire family,” said Jeff Proudfoot, managing director, Guidewire Software EMEA. “Guidewire’s track record of implementation successes around the world combined with the robust architecture of PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter make a solid foundation with which Aviva can meet its strategic IT and business objectives. We are looking forward to bringing these capabilities to Aviva and the UK market.”
