EY to provide implementation, ongoing services, and support
Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance Company, the fifth largest
Ontario-based mutual insurer, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced
that Kent & Essex Mutual selected Guidewire to automate and
streamline business processes to drive its growth strategy.
Guidewire will be implemented across all of Kent & Essex
Mutual’s lines of business concurrently.
Kent & Essex selected InsuranceSuite, Client Data
Management, Rating Management, and Reinsurance Management as its
new systems for policy administration, underwriting, client data,
rating, reinsurance, claims, and billing management. The company
also selected DataHub and InfoCenter as its new systems for
enterprise-wide data management and analytics. In addition, Kent
& Essex Mutual selected EnterpriseEngage to offer a seamless,
omnichannel digital experience to its brokers and
policyholders.
“We selected Guidewire because it is deeply entrenched in the
P&C insurance industry and is a proven, flexible platform that
enables straight-through processing, no-touch underwriting, and
renewals,” said Kent & Essex Mutual President and Chief
Executive Officer Kevin Konecny. “As a broker-driven company our
priority is to automate and simplify workflows to offer superior
service quality and provide additional functionality in a cloud
environment. Guidewire will enable us to adapt quickly to meet
broker and customer needs, easily integrate products with new
technology partners, and grow in a meaningful way. With the
robustness of the functionality Guidewire offers, we will be able
to focus our teams’ time enhancing our already amazing service,
building relationships, and creating value in the insurance
experience for our brokers, policyholders, and vendors.”
“We applaud Kent & Essex Mutual’s more than 130 years of
service to Ontario residents,” said Guidewire President and Chief
Revenue Officer John Mullen. “We are delighted that InsuranceSuite
on Guidewire Cloud will underpin their future growth strategy
across all lines of business, and that our partnership will enable
them to support their brokers and customers with exceptional
service and expertise.”
Kent & Essex Mutual will be accessing Guidewire in a private
cloud through EY Nexus™ for Insurance. “We’re pleased to work with
Kent & Essex Mutual on this implementation project, using our
cloud-based and managed service solution that is built around
InsuranceSuite – and provides our customers with accelerators that
include pre-configured capabilities for the Canadian insurance
market,” said EY Canada Insurance Business Consulting Leader
Jennifer Baziuk. “Transforming core systems will provide enterprise
agility and the capability to adapt quickly and implement new tools
and upgrades. We look forward to supporting Kent & Essex along
their journey.”
