Mike Costello, enterprise service delivery group manager, Auto Club added, “Guidewire Cloud has been a stable, well-performing platform. We’ve received positive feedback from our member-facing employees, specifically around the user interface, which offers an improved experience. Also, testing of Guidewire Cloud updates has been much easier and quicker compared to when we were upgrading self-managed versions of Guidewire.”
