PALMERSTON NORTH,
FMG implemented PolicyCenter and BillingCenter to provide a strong foundation to support ongoing business growth, increase its levels of client service, and more quickly bring products to market. The organization also sought systems based on an open technology architecture. FMG is currently in production with PolicyCenter and BillingCenter across all of its lines of commercial and consumer business after deploying the systems simultaneously.
“Feedback from across the business, including front-line roles and
senior managers about PolicyCenter and BillingCenter has so far been
very positive,” said
Once FMG completes its client migration, Guidewire PolicyCenter and BillingCenter will allow FMG to:
- Make system changes to bring new products to market more quickly and with higher quality to better keep pace with changing business and technical demands;
- Streamline its business processes to enhance the agent/client experience and allow underwriters to focus on providing high-value services to clients;
- Provide a modern technology platform with automated processing and real-time functionality to allow its employees to do their job quickly and efficiently; and
- Standardize policy administration and billing practices for consistency and accuracy.
“We congratulate FMG on their successful implementation of PolicyCenter
and BillingCenter,” said
