service, increase efficiency and productivity, and reduce operational
cost
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2019--
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), provider of the industry platform
general insurers rely upon, today announced that LV= General Insurance
(LV= GI), one of the UK’s largest personal lines insurers, has

replaced their core legacy systems and implemented multiple new
products, including Guidewire PolicyCenter™, Guidewire BillingCenter™,
and Guidewire DataHub™ for underwriting, policy administration, billing

they are now selling all Motor and Home insurance products on the new
platform, as well as migrating all their existing customers.
“We are really pleased to have successfully transformed our business
using Guidewire InsurancePlatform™,” said Gavin Drescher, IT Delivery
Director for LV= GI. “We have simplified many of our core transactional
processes, making us more efficient and productive, while at the same
time reducing operating expenses. On the new system, we have also
successfully launched a number of new products, and integrated our new
rating and customer fulfillment capabilities. All of this has made it
much easier for our customers to do business with us which, in turn, has
resulted in our customer satisfaction scores improving significantly.”
Guidewire’s Core and Data solutions have enabled LV= to:
-
Train employees to do more for customers (producing fewer call
transfers and telephone numbers) through modern systems and simple
processes;
-
Create quote validation to improve customer experience, as well as
reduce operational expenses;
-
Boost call centre efficiency and enable digital ambitions, by
redesigning the customer journey, making it simpler and more efficient
for customers and frontline employees; and
-
Successfully monitor business performance across both legacy and new
platforms.
“We congratulate LV= on their successful deployment of Guidewire Core
and Data products,” said Sheridon Glenn, vice president, Field
Consulting, Professional Services, Guidewire Software. “Already a

chose to extend their relationship with us, and that InsurancePlatform
is enabling them to provide the high-quality and flexible service their
