Build P&C Insurance Integrations Faster. Deploy with Confidence using Guidewire Integration Framework.
The average P&C insurer manages an ecosystem of over 150 integrations across their core applications. If you’ve spent time building, testing, or deploying integrations, you’ve likely faced these common challenges head-on:
This outdated approach creates a drag on the entire organization, leading to severe consequences. Up to 70% of an insurer's IT budget is consumed by maintaining these legacy systems, and developers spend an average of 17 hours per week on maintenance instead of innovation. This directly impacts speed-to-market, extending new product launches to 12-18 months and allowing agile competitors to seize opportunities.
「Across the industry it’s common for insurers, depending on the complexity of their environment, to have up to 150 policy, billing, and claims integrations that connect their custom internal systems as well as third-party supported technologies.」
