Frankenmuth Insurance (Frankenmuth), a super-regional property and casualty (P&C) insurer, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Frankenmuth selected Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to power its core systems and simplify its IT operations.

By operating InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud, we will be able to shift system maintenance to Guidewire, so we can stay current on the latest innovations and enable our IT staff to focus on tasks that deliver value to our business.”

Williams added, “We are also excited about using Guidewire Advanced Product Designer and Guidewire Jutro Digital Platform to develop and deliver new capabilities quickly to our agents and policyholders, as well as integrating the third-party, best-in-class insurtechs that comprise the Guidewire Marketplace and PartnerConnect ecosystem to enhance our service offerings. Our actuaries and data scientists will continue to utilize Guidewire Predict and other Guidewire Analytics products to embed powerful analytics within our processes.”

“We are excited to once again partner with Frankenmuth Insurance as they advance to the next phase of their transformation journey through the implementation of InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud,” said PwC Global and U.S. Guidewire Alliance Leader Imran Ilyas. “In today's fast-paced environment, embracing cloud technology is an essential, strategic move that will enable Frankenmuth to enhance its agility and scalability, while focusing on delivering innovative solutions and superior service to their customers.
