Affordable, ready-to-go cloud system offers
Midwest insurers superior architecture and all-in-one application
for core operations
First Chicago Insurance Company (FCIC), a Property and Casualty
(P&C) company, United Security Health and Casualty Company
(USH&C), a health and casualty company, and Guidewire Software,
Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), provider of the industry platform P&C
insurers rely upon, today announced that FCIC and USH&C have
selected Guidewire InsuranceNow to increase business agility and
enhance operational efficiencies. The companies plan to begin
implementing InsuranceNow’s All-in-One functionality for their
non-standard auto line of business, followed by their preferred
auto, general liability, taxi, and commercial auto lines of
business.
“We selected InsuranceNow because we needed a comprehensive,
highly configurable, user-friendly, and affordable system that
could not only handle expansion, but also increase efficiency and
productivity for our core business functions and workflows.
InsuranceNow met or exceeded all of the performance and
implementation timeline criteria we were looking for,” said James
Hallberg, Chief Executive Officer, Warrior Invictus Holding
Company, parent company of FCIC and USH&C. “Increasing our
technological agility will allow FCIC and USH&C to enter new
states and introduce new rates and products to the market with
greater efficiency. This strategic investment allows us to pursue
an ambitious business model without having to dramatically increase
our workforce.”
Hallberg added, “The cloud and All-in-One aspects of
InsuranceNow were critical to our decision-making. Its superior
cloud architecture has a holistic, uniform approach of methods
across modules, offering a faster, more seamless transition and
straightforward maintenance moving forward. This will enable us to
reorganize our workflow structure to free up resources and
streamline productivity. The integration of an All-in-One solution
is invaluable, as it provides a single application to handle all of
our core operations, while offering data integrity and a strategy
to deliver on modern APIs.”
Steve Sherry, Chief Sales Officer, Guidewire Software, remarked,
“We are pleased to welcome First Chicago Insurance Company and
United Security Health and Casualty Company to the Guidewire
customer community. We admire the companies’ commitment to
consistently exceeding customer expectations through exceptional
service, innovative marketing, competitive products and new
programs, and leading-edge automation, and look forward to
beginning our work together.”
