IDC MarketScape Positions Guidewire as a Leader in Its First Assessment for Worldwide Policy Administration Systems
In its inaugural year, the IDC MarketScape assessment for policy administration systems evaluated the “capabilities and business strategies of 10 global vendors offering policy administration systems (PAS) to IT buyers.” The report aimed to facilitate more informed investment decisions and provide information on how the vendors featured can help insurers meet their business goals and technology expectations.
“A factor that propelled Guidewire to its position within our IDC
MarketScape chart for its across-the-board strength and depth includes
being built using state-of-the-art modern technology and architecture
with no legacy or acquired code,” wrote
“Guidewire is honored to be named a leader in the IDC MarketScape’s
review of global Policy Systems,” said
