Auto-Owners Insurance Company (Auto-Owners), a leading U.S.
property/casualty (P/C) insurer, and Guidewire Software, Inc.
(NYSE: GWRE), a provider of core system software to P/C insurers,
today announced that Auto-Owners has selected Guidewire
ClaimCenter® as its new claims management system. The company will
implement ClaimCenter to support the management of its commercial
and personal lines claims.
In its drive to bring high quality products to market, maintain
a competitive edge, and continue providing high levels of service
to its independent agency partners and policyholders, Auto-Owners
decided it needed to replace its legacy claims systems. After
conducting in-depth research and system evaluations, Auto-Owners
selected ClaimCenter.
“Guidewire’s track record of successful implementations was a
very important factor in our selection decision,” said Bob
Buchanan, senior vice president, IT, Auto-Owners. “We realized if
we could license a packaged solution that we could easily configure
to meet our unique needs, we would be in production much quicker
than if we were to build such a system in-house or with the various
tools available on the market. We feel that ClaimCenter is an
excellent solution to help us meet both our IT and business
goals.”
“ClaimCenter is expected to complement our service efforts and
apply increased technology to streamline our processes, allowing
associates to focus on serving our customers and agents,” said Jim
Walsh, vice president, Claims, Auto-Owners. “We expect to gain
better insight into our operations and ensure that we are
identifying best practices for optimal performance results.”
Guidewire ClaimCenter will enable Auto-Owners to:
- Deliver improvements to its business
processes with its independent agency partners;
- Enhance loss reporting and incorporate
technology in response to increasing mobile technology
demands;
- Provide its staff with a more
comprehensive view of claims and enhance management visibility into
claim status and performance metrics; and
- Increase operational efficiency through
automation across claims processes, freeing claim representatives
to focus on high value tasks.
“We appreciate Auto-Owners’ dedication to its policyholders and
agents and its ongoing desire to improve service to them,” said
Marcus Ryu, chief executive officer, Guidewire Software. “We are
proud that ClaimCenter and Guidewire have won their vote of
confidence, and we look forward to helping them achieve claims
implementation success.”
