InsurancePlatform release helps insurers optimize operations, drive smart decisions, and frees them to focus on innovation and disruption while simplifying IT

experiences,” said

With our new Guidewire Explore™ for Underwriting offering, we are extending the benefits of Smart Core™ to underwriters and underwriting managers.”
“Guidewire is doing the heavy lifting to allow our customers the time
and flexibility to focus on innovating and disrupting their existing
business models,” said
InsurancePlatform offers an engaging experience for insurers while enabling them to make smart, data-driven decisionsthrough predictive, guided processes, API-driven design and integrations, and pre-built content. In addition, it empowers them to deliver streamlined, personalized digital experiences to their prospects, policyholders, partners, and internal teams. Highlights include:
- Guidewire Underwriting Management™ now integrates with Guidewire PolicyCenter™ to provide a unified underwriting experience for even the most complex submissions from intake through issuance and administration.

Long integrated with Underwriting Management, AppReader is now available pre-integrated with PolicyCenter and stand-alone for use with other policy systems, and features a validation interface that allows underwriting staff to ensure data quality and completeness prior to upload.
