Guidewire Software Celebrates Signing of 100th Customer

Guidewire Software®, a provider of core system software to Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, today announced the signing of its 100^th customer, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens). Citizens has selected, through a competitive solicitation, Guidewire InsuranceSuite™ as its platform for underwriting and policy administration, claims management, and billing for all lines of business. Citizens’ goal is to implement best practices and improve its operational efficiencies by retiring its legacy systems and consolidating its data and processes onto a modern core system platform.

“We welcome Citizens as the 100th insurer to join the Guidewire customer community,” said Marcus Ryu, chief executive officer, Guidewire Software.  “We are honored to have been selected by them, and indirectly by the citizens of Florida, as the key technology partner in their ambitious program of legacy system replacement.”

“Guidewire’s engineering team is dedicated to building software that helps our customers succeed now and in the future,” said Jeremy Henrickson, vice president, Product Development, Guidewire. “We are deeply thankful to our customers for selecting Guidewire as their core system partner and for their input as we continuously improve our products.” 

“We view our customer relationships as long-term partnerships,” added Alex Naddaff, vice president, Professional Services, Guidewire. “As with the customers before them, we enter our relationship with Citizens recognizing the challenges but confident of success.”

Ryu continued, “Guidewire was founded in the conviction that a great core system suite, built on modern software engineering principles, would serve the P/C industry far better than the custom development and legacy systems we saw everywhere.  A decade later, it is gratifying to have significant confirmation of that belief.”
