Information Technology Newsweekly

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Information Technology Newsweekly -- San Cristobal Seguros and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products to Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, announced that San Cristobal Seguros has selected Guidewire PolicyCenter® as its new underwriting, rating, and policy administration system and Guidewire BillingCenter® to manage its billing operations, including agency and direct bill and commissions calculation. The insurer has also selected Guidewire Rating Management™, and Client Data Management.

San Cristobal selected PolicyCenter and BillingCenter as part of a company-wide strategic initiative to replace its core systems and optimize its policy and billing system infrastructure and associated processes. The company plans to first implement the products for its automotive line of business, then expand the implementation to the rest of its business lines throughout the branch network in Argentina. San Cristobal intends to extend implementation to Uruguay once it has completed successful deployments in Argentina. San Cristobal Seguros successfully deployed Guidewire ClaimCenter® last September.

"The incorporation of PolicyCenter and BillingCenter will allow us to streamline and simplify the process of issuing policies based on international insurance industry best practices," said Gustavo Palotta, Chief Executive Officer, San Cristobal Seguros. "We are already benefitting greatly from the standardization of claims management practices following last year's ClaimCenter implementation, and look forward to receiving similar benefits for our policy administration and billing operations once the systems are deployed."
