This marks the seventh consecutive year that Guidewire has been
honored by the VIP awards program
FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2013--
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products
for Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, today announced that it has
received five of six 2013 Vanguards in Insurance Practices (VIP) Awards.
The VIP Awards are sponsored by Insurance Networking News (INN)
in partnership with Celent and were announced and presented at the
recent ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum in Las Vegas. The VIP award
winners were solely determined by insurance company professionals
through their participation in an online survey where they were asked to
name technology providers that deliver the most value in various VIP
categories.
Guidewire’s 2013 VIP awards included recognition in the Back Office &
Support Systems, Customer Experience Solutions, Decision Support
Solutions, Insurance Core Solutions, and Strategic Partner
categories. More information about the 2013 VIP Awards can be found at www.guidewire.com.
“The VIP awards identify the leaders in insurance technology and
recognize the vendors that best help insurance carriers meet the
increased expectations of consumers and agents,” said Carrie Burns,
editor-in-chief, INN. "This year, we’ve seen that while insurers
still consider customer service and stability to be important traits of
vendors, the ability to plan for advances in technology is becoming just
as important."
“Guidewire is very effective in building and supporting their partner
networks, and their customers appreciate that choice of implementation
partners,” said Chuck Johnston, director, Celent. “They’ve also built
out a solid organization that has connected with their customers and
created good rapport, as seen in the award results. They’ve made
significant investments in pertinent technologies to support their
customers, also reflected in the award results.”
“It is a great honor for the Guidewire team to be recognized especially
given that the award rankings are based solely on feedback from P/C
insurance professionals,” said Brian Desmond, vice president, Marketing,
Guidewire. “We thank Insurance Networking News and Celent for
sponsoring the VIP awards program, and we thank everyone who
participated in the survey.”
This year is the seventh annual VIP ranking of technology solution
providers to the insurance industry. 2013 winners were chosen based on
votes from 476 unique respondents.
