Insurers will better understand a partner’s
level of Guidewire expertise
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), provider of the industry
platform Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers rely upon, today
announced the addition of specializations to its PartnerConnect
Consulting program. Specializations have been added to aid
insurance companies in selecting the best partner to lead or staff
their Guidewire projects. Guidewire unveiled new specializations,
including two which have been successfully piloted earlier this
year.
“Our customers will now have more clarity and information as to
which partners have the proven capabilities in their chosen product
and region,” said Lisa Walsh, vice president, Alliances, Guidewire
Software. “Adding these specializations will also allow us to have
more insight into a partner’s performance and competencies.”
To earn a specialization, partners need to demonstrate skills,
knowledge, and competency in a specific Guidewire product or
solution by certifying staff at multiple levels (specialist and
professional) through Guidewire’s Partner Education Program, and by
providing customer references.
Earlier this year, Guidewire successfully completed a pilot
program with two specializations: Regional Premier Americas and
Premier Services Engagement. Joining them now are the following new
certifications:
- Guidewire PolicyCenter
- Guidewire ClaimCenter
- Guidewire BillingCenter
- Guidewire InsuranceSuite -
Integration
- Guidewire InsuranceSuite - Core
- Guidewire Digital Engagement
- Digital UX Complementary
- Guidewire DataHub
- Guidewire DataHub+
- Guidewire Cloud
- Premier Go-to-Market (GTM) – EMEA
- Premier Go-To-Market – North America
(formerly Regional Premier Americas)
“We welcome this exciting program evolution and the ability to
earn specializations that will help partners better showcase
relevant services and capabilities to insurers in their respective
regions,” said Lars Ackermann, managing partner, IKOR.
“PwC looks forward to the continued enhancements of the
excellent, long-standing Guidewire alliance program,” said Paul
McDonnell, global insurance consulting partner, PwC. “And, we look
forward to bringing greater value to our joint clients and
continuing global investment in our Guidewire practice.”
“Guidewire has a very dynamic ecosystem which we are honored to
be a part of. Consulting partners will now be able to showcase
their hard-earned Guidewire expertise in a way that is meaningful
and helpful to our mutual customers,” said Jérôme Isabelle,
executive vice president, Strategic Alliances and New Markets,
V-NEO from GFT.
