Capital Insurance Group Selects Guidewire System for Underwriting and Policy Administration
Guidewire PolicyCenter® to increase operational efficiencies and speed-to-market for multi-line insurer
After selecting Guidewire BillingCenter® earlier this year as part of a larger ongoing business transformation initiative, CIG decided to expand its Guidewire selection to include PolicyCenter. By consolidating its three existing policy systems, the company hopes to simplify its infrastructure, streamline business processes and gain the flexibility needed to remain competitive in an evolving market. CIG will deploy PolicyCenter across all lines of business in a phased implementation approach, beginning with its BOP and commercial auto lines.
“Our team was very impressed with Guidewire’s track record of effective
implementations in the marketplace. We didn’t see that level of success
with any other system,” said
PolicyCenter will enable
- Enhance business agility by enabling product changes to be made more quickly and easily without the delays of custom IT coding;
- Leverage automated underwriting rules and real-time functionality to eliminate manual processes; and
- Standardize policy administration on a single, consistent platform for agents and policyholders.
“From a technical perspective, our legacy policy systems were creating a bottleneck each time we needed to update or enhance our systems,” said Rads Mydam, chief information officer and vice president, Information Technology, CIG. “It can take up to four months to make changes in the current system. We’re looking forward to increasing our agility as a result of PolicyCenter’s easy configurability and giving business users more freedom to modify products and services as needed.”
“We are pleased to extend our relationship with CIG through their
PolicyCenter selection,” said

PolicyCenter is available as a standalone system or as part of Guidewire InsuranceSuite™, and can be integrated to an insurer’s legacy systems or third party applications.
