Aioi Nissay Dowa Europe (AND-E), the European subsidiary of MS&AD
Insurance Group Holdings Inc., one of Asia’s largest insurers, and
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), provider of the industry platform
general insurers rely upon, are pleased to announce that AND-E has
selected Guidewire InsurancePlatform™ Core, Data, and Digital products*
to replace its legacy systems and streamline its business. AND-E
will deploy the Guidewire products, starting with its ITB (insurethebox)
motor line of business in the UK.
“A key driver in our selection of InsurancePlatform was the need for a
vendor solution encompassing all the core insurance platform
capabilities as well as having a European footprint aligned to our
group,” said Mike Swanborough, CEO, AND-E. “This platform will provide
the opportunity for us to leverage greater efficiency, flexibility,
agility, and system performance; to support our business growth and
profitability.”
Guidewire InsurancePlatform will enable AND-E to:
-
Build a unified business architecture and new foundation for its
current and future needs; -
Implement a streamlined solution across all lines of business within a
reasonable timeframe; and -
Develop greater customer engagement solutions as well as focus on more
value-add activities to lead the way in connected mobility protection.
“Our current business architecture is diverse and complex, so the
ability to unify and streamline it is central to our selection,”
commented Frank Kaczorek, Head of IT, AND-E. “In addition, it was
important to have as much ‘out of the box’ functionality as possible
from the start. Guidewire products fulfil both requirements, and will
support our sizing, scaling aspects, business models, and service
vision.”
“Guidewire is delighted to welcome AND-E to our customer community,”
said Keith Stonell, managing director, EMEA, Guidewire. “We look forward
to supporting them in this phase and in their roll out across Europe, as
well as working with them as they develop the technological foundation
that will help them achieve their strategic business goals.”
*AND-E selected Guidewire PolicyCenter™, Guidewire Client Data
Management™, Guidewire Rating Management™, Guidewire Reinsurance
Management™, Guidewire ClaimCenter™, and BillingCenter™ as its new
underwriting, policy administration, client data, rating, reinsurance,
claims, and billing management systems. The company also chose Guidewire
DataHub™ and Guidewire InfoCenter™ for enterprise-wide data management
and business intelligence. In addition, AND-E selected Guidewire
EnterpriseEngage™ to support omnichannel digital service to its
customers and vendors.
