Insights

This successful implementation at Amerisure represents a significant win for Guidewire, strengthening its position in the insurance technology market. The deployment's success, particularly being on time and on budget, showcases Guidewire's ability to execute complex enterprise implementations effectively, which is important for attracting new clients and maintaining its market leadership position.

Several key aspects make this implementation particularly noteworthy for investors:

  • The full suite deployment (PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and previously implemented ClaimCenter) on Guidewire Cloud represents a complete platform adoption, which typically generates higher recurring revenue streams compared to partial implementations
  • The successful migration from on-premise to cloud infrastructure demonstrates Guidewire's effective cloud transition strategy, a critical factor for the company's future growth and margin expansion
  • The implementation's scope across multiple insurance lines (Workers' Compensation, commercial auto and special risk) indicates strong platform versatility and scalability
  • The positive user feedback and rapid adoption metrics suggest high product quality and user satisfaction, which could lead to valuable reference customers for future sales

For Guidewire's business model, this implementation is particularly valuable as it represents the ideal customer journey: starting with one component (ClaimCenter) and expanding to the full suite on their cloud platform. This pattern typically leads to higher customer lifetime value and stronger client relationships, while also providing stable, recurring revenue streams through the cloud subscription model.

The partnership with PwC, a Global Premier member of Guidewire PartnerConnect, also reinforces Guidewire's robust implementation ecosystem, which is important for scaling their business and maintaining high customer satisfaction levels. The successful integration with Smart Communications further validates Guidewire's partner ecosystem strategy and ability to provide comprehensive solutions.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. & SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amerisure Insurance (Amerisure), a leading provider of commercial property and casualty insurance solutions for U.S.-based construction, manufacturing and healthcare businesses, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Amerisure successfully deployed Guidewire PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter as its new systems for policy administration, underwriting, and billing management. The company implemented the products on Guidewire Cloud simultaneously beginning with its Workers’ Compensation line of business in all of the regions where it operates. Amerisure is currently implementing other lines of business such as commercial auto and loss sensitive (special risk). Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Global Premier member PwC was the lead partner on the implementation project.

Amerisure migrated its on-premise installation of Guidewire ClaimCenter onto Guidewire Cloud in 2023. With the implementation of PolicyCenter and BillingCenter on Guidewire Cloud, the company is now a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite customer in production on Guidewire Cloud.

“Thanks to the incredible partnership our team had working with Guidewire and PwC, we were able to go into production on time and on budget, and user feedback has been encouraging. PolicyCenter and BillingCenter are enabling us to modernize our policy administration, underwriting, and billing capabilities to achieve things we wouldn’t have been able to on our previous systems, such as account-level viewing, easy access to detailed policy information by all entities in the organization, and new integrations to streamline processes,” said Amerisure Vice President of Product Management Mark Fowler. “We’re also now able to see the full quote-issue-bind cycle for new policies in real time. Compared to our previous policy and billing systems, the time it took our staff to learn to operate PolicyCenter and BillingCenter decreased substantially. The intuitive platform allowed the team to be up and running in weeks vs months.”

Fowler added, “We’re looking forward to leveraging the best-in-class insurtech solutions that are part of Guidewire Marketplace and Guidewire’s powerful PartnerConnect ecosystem into our workflows to facilitate a simpler and smoother experience for our staff to ultimately benefit our policyholders and agency customers by reducing cycle times and improving their overall experience. And when we complete our line of business migration, we’ll also be able to quickly add new lines to grow our business. Guidewire will be core to our business operations, driving speed and agility, and I’m excited to see where this goes.”
