Guidewire Software Announces New Instant-on Live App – Spotlight – for Improved Underwriting Precision
Australia’s
Accurate risk selection is key to building a profitable business. Too often however, underwriters are forced to scavenge for relevant external data sources in order to get the information they need to review a risk. Underwriting challenges addressed by Spotlight include: location inaccuracies, inconsistencies in the underwriting process within the organization, and the need to make more transparent decisions.
Guidewire Live Spotlight brings together relevant data from internal and external sources, applies company specified algorithms to generate peril-based alerts, and presents the evaluation results to the underwriter visually for detailed interaction. With Spotlight, underwriters can see at-a-glance which policies are in a high risk area such as a flood or crime zone, enabling them to more accurately underwrite the risk.
“We are excited about how Guidewire Live Spotlight will support our
underwriters in visualizing the geospatial and natural peril exposures

other risks that we underwrite in the vicinity,” said
“Spotlight has been designed and expressly built to aid the task of
Property/Casualty insurance underwriting,” said
Guidewire Live Spotlight is currently available to insurers in the U.S.,
