“By implementing Guidewire in the cloud, we will be able to take advantage of quicker updates, business continuity, and disaster recovery, spending less time on low-level tasks such as system maintenance and focusing more time on the high-value tasks of bringing new products and services to our brokers and clients,” said Peace Hills Vice President of Information Technology Ken McKnight. “We’ll also be able to utilize Guidewire Data Platform, the analytics applications, and make use of the training and support offered by Guidewire for such a large platform.”
McKnight added, “A unique aspect of Peace Hills is our high-touch approach. Guidewire Digital will supplement our existing portal and provide a streamlined, frictionless digital claims experience and faster turnaround times for our policyholders. We’ll also be able to easily integrate the best-in-class insurtech solutions that are part of Guidewire Marketplace and the PartnerConnect ecosystem into our workflows.”
