By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Information Technology Newsweekly -- California Casualty, an auto and home insurance company for educators, firefighters, law enforcement and nurses, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE), a provider of software products to Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers, announced that California Casualty has selected additional Guidewire InsurancePlatform™ products to help transform its personal auto and homeowner lines of business. Guidewire PartnerConnect™ Consulting member Ernst & Young LLP has been selected to lead the implementation project.

California Casualty has selected Guidewire PolicyCenter®, BillingCenter, Rating Management, and Client Data Management as its policy administration, underwriting, rating, client data management, and billing management platform. The company has also selected Guidewire DataHub™ and InfoCenter as its data management and analytics solutions, and Quote and Buy Portal for Policyholders and Account Management Portal for Policyholders to provide engaging, digital self-service to its policyholders. California Casualty plans to implement all selected products simultaneously, in a phased approach across the 44 jurisdictions where it does business. California Casualty has been deployed on Guidewire ClaimCenter® since 2008.

"We are excited to continue our partnership with Guidewire through the selection and implementation of additional InsurancePlatform products to enhance the levels of service we provide," said Michael Bower, Executive Vice President, Technology and Investments, California Casualty. "We are looking forward to all of the benefits we will receive from running modern systems that complement our previous investments in ClaimCenter."

Bower continued, "The ability to quickly integrate our core, data, and digital systems through Guidewire and deploy to our customers, rather than building the systems ourselves, was very attractive to us. We are confident that the combination of Guidewire systems, EY implementation experience, and our dedicated internal staff can bring the project to a successful conclusion."
