David Lyman, Betterview logo
For the team here at Betterview, partnering with Guidewire was a no-brainer. As a company focused on improving the P&C insurance experience for agents and customers, we found a lot of alignment between Guidewire’s mission and our own. The future of P&C lies in investing in both better technology and a better focus on the customer. Guidewire understands that intuitively and embodies it in their business practices. We couldn’t be prouder to be working alongside them.
