SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) has announced its recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS P&C Core Platforms, North America, for InsuranceSuite, placed highest for its Ability to Execute and the furthest for Completeness of Vision.

The Gartner report evaluated solutions from 14 vendors within the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. Read the full report.

“Software as a service (SaaS) property and casualty (P&C) insurance core platforms enable insurers to support the administration of a range of P&C insurance products. SaaS adoption for P&C insurers seeking core platforms for modernization, consolidation or to meet new needs is almost ubiquitous in North America,” Gartner wrote. “They are mission-critical systems for insurance companies, foundational for digital optimization and enablers for digital transformation.”

“The future of how work gets done and the role of embedded AI in core insurance systems (including machine learning, GenAI and AI agent) brings a sharp focus on vendor roadmaps, support for regulations, delivery capabilities and even their future business model,” Gartner continued.

“We are honored that Guidewire is again recognized as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for SaaS P&C Core Platforms, and grateful to our customers and partners for their trust,” said Brian Desmond, Chief Marketing Officer at Guidewire. “We believe this recognition affirms our vision for intelligent insurance, where cloud, data, and AI work together to help insurers move faster, serve customers better, and shape the future of the industry.”

More than 140 Guidewire (InsuranceSuite) customers have selected Guidewire Cloud. In addition to recent momentum with InsuranceSuite, functionality designed to further enhance financial and risk insight includes:

Niseko Release: Provides developers with pre-built insurance data models and embedded financial intelligence to improve decision-making, while introducing a new extension layer and Guidewire Functions to simplify customization and automate business logic.

Las Leñas Release: Transforms how insurers anticipate and address complex challenges by introducing Guidewire Industry Intel, which delivers advanced predictive insights for property and casualty insurance.

Guidewire (InsuranceNow) was recognized as a Challenger in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS P&C Core Platforms, North America.

InsuranceNow, an all-in-one, cloud-based core insurance platform for regional and super-regional property and casualty (P&C) insurers and managing general agents (MGAs) in the U.S., gained recent momentum:
