SAN MATEO, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), the platform P&C insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently, today announced the launch of Aspen 2020.1H, featuring the first cloud-optimized release of Guidewire InsuranceSuite, and additional enhancements to Guidewire Analytics and Guidewire for Salesforce. Aspen1 extends support for insurers’ imperatives to unlock business and IT agility for accelerated product launches, personalized digital experiences, and embedded analytics throughout the insurance lifecycle.

Insurers around the world are focused on digitally engaging with customers and agents and making insurance more convenient. They need to innovate and launch new insurance products quickly and iterate them in market. Insurers must also grow their business efficiently by continuously measuring performance and testing process improvements. These goals typically require complex IT projects with insurers facing execution challenges due to a lack of IT agility. With Aspen, Guidewire delivers a cloud-optimized platform that delivers the agility insurers need to meet their business imperatives.

“The P&C insurance industry continues to evolve rapidly, and insurers, now more than ever, need the ability to quickly react and respond to market changes and needs,” said Karlyn Carnahan, head of Celent’s Property and Casualty practice for the Americas. “Cloud-optimized, digital-first platforms are the way of the future and will empower insurers to be competitive, reduce costs, and provide high levels of customer service, while increasing flexibility and agility.”

“For more than 18 years we have been dedicated to addressing the core system requirements of the P&C industry and today we are excited to announce a new approach,” said Mike Rosenbaum, chief executive officer, Guidewire. “Aspen is a significant milestone in our cloud journey and is arguably the most pivotal release in Guidewire’s history. It marks a redefinition in what we mean when we say core platform. Insurers expect that a core platform should do more than just run their core business processes. It also needs to be inherently connected to digital interfaces, take advantage of analytics capabilities, and be able to integrate data from any source. This is why we are unifying digital, analytics, and the core into one platform delivered in Guidewire Cloud.”

“Aspen is our first bi-annual cloud-optimized release that will bring customers even more IT agility, allowing them to get more value from their investment by laying the foundation for continuous improvement and future innovations,” said Diego Devalle, global head, Product and Engineering, Guidewire. “Beginning with the rating, rules, and data cloud-native services found in Aspen and continuing with subsequent releases, we will deliver a new generation of products that leverages cloud services architecture, and will continue building an open platform leveraging APIs.”

Aspen has been designed to bring agility to P&C insurers like never before to support their key imperatives:

Innovate

Aspen helps insurers create new products in days not months, analyze performance, and iterate at the speed of the market with reduced reliance on IT. Insurers can:

  • Accelerate product launches with Advanced Product Designer, a business-user friendly tool with visual, low-code configuration, while streamlining collaboration and design efforts.
  • With Guidewire Cloud, IT can stay current forever, rather than having to implement costly infrastructure upgrades. With fast cadence upgrades, IT will have access to two updates a year, allowing insurers to frequently consume new innovation and product capabilities.
  • Embrace and conquer new and evolving risks through Cyence risk insights that leverage petabytes of data on behavioral, social, and environmental signals so insurers can differentiate risk, automate underwriting, and make smarter pricing and risk selection decisions.

Engage

The release enables insurers to automatically create digital experiences that can easily be customized to serve all their customer segments. It allows them to:

  • Personalize digital experiences with the auto-generation of digital screens directly in PolicyCenter leveraging Advanced Product Designer for visual product definitions to help insurers best serve all of their customer segments.
  • Enable a unified and holistic customer view with Guidewire for Salesforce due to its ability to power insight-driven interactions with claims and policy service data, auto-generate quote and buy experiences, and allow sales and service teams to sell and service policies.
  • Deploy Cyence for Personal Cyber for on-demand, personalized cybersecurity assessments that include custom remediation recommendations to help users reduce their cyber risk.

Grow Efficiently

Aspen empowers insurers to leverage Guidewire Analytics powered by Guidewire Data Platform and Cyence to uncover hidden opportunities and write profitable business with a seamless path from data to value. The release enables insurers to:

  • Obtain data (including all intra-daily changes) from core systems in real-time via Cloud Data Access, a service of Guidewire Data Platform, and gain a competitive edge through Cyence data listening, to support their enterprise-wide data and analytics strategy.
  • Leverage embedded predictive analytics in core workflows to optimize operations and improve underwriting profitability.
