Execute” and “Completeness of Vision”
FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 10, 2014--
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE), a provider of flexible software
products to Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, today announced that it
has been positioned as a “Leader” in Gartner, Inc.'s first “Magic
Quadrant for Property and Casualty Insurance Claims Management Modules1.”
Guidewire was positioned highest on the ability to execute axis and
furthest on the completeness of vision axis in the report. The report
can be viewed here.
As the first Gartner Magic Quadrant for the P/C insurance space, the
report evaluates seven global vendors that have qualified for inclusion
in the claims management module market.
“Global demand for stand-alone claims management modules decreased in
2013, but sales of claims modules within suites tripled,” wrote Jeff
Haner, principal research analyst, Insurance, Gartner and author of the
report. “Investment in core system modernization remains high, and a
fast-growing majority of insurers are electing to license claims modules
within modular core solution suites.”
“The Guidewire team is honored to be named a leader by Gartner in the
Claims Management Magic Quadrant, and we are intent on continuing our
track record of innovation,” said Brian Desmond, vice president,
Marketing, Guidewire Software. “Our customers use Guidewire products to
replace their legacy systems and transform their business; these are
challenging projects no matter how good the technology that serves them.
We work collaboratively with our customers, and we view this report as
recognition of the success achieved collectively by the Guidewire
community. We thank our customers for choosing Guidewire as their
partner and are humbled by their overwhelming support.”
