The winners were recognized for using or implementing Guidewire's applications in ways to deliver significant business value to their organizations.
All Guidewire customers were eligible to submit their in-process or implemented projects for consideration. The entries were voted on by a cross functional team of Guidewire personnel. The winners were announced in the final session of Guidewire's Connections 2009, user conference.
The winning projects include the following:
California Casualty is a family-owned auto and home insurance company headquartered in San Mateo, California. The company has been in production with Guidewire ClaimCenter since February, 2008. Handling claims for customers in 44 states, each with varying regulations, California Casualty needed a way to help its file handlers keep up with varied and changing requirements to help the company stay in compliance. They also needed a way to make system changes to keep pace with the changing requirements. California Casualty developed two tools in ClaimCenter for this purpose: an automatic workplan generation tool which generates activities based on specified conditions and a recurring activity pattern tool which creates activities at pre-determined intervals of time when specific conditions are met.
Missouri Employers Mutual is a Missouri provider of workers compensation with 12,000 policyholders. MEM has been in production with Guidewire ClaimCenter since November, 2008 and is the recipient of the 2009 IASA Technology Achievement Award for its ClaimCenter implementation.
Suncorp is an Australian general insurance group, offering a range of coverage across Personal, Commercial, Workers Compensation and Compulsory Third Party insurance. Suncorp is a winner of an earlier Guidewire Innovation Award in 2007, and has been in production with ClaimCenter since July, 2007.
The Unitrin Property and Casualty Insurance Group of companies connect a network of regional insurance carriers that provide a range of personal lines and commercial auto insurance products to millions of customers across the nation. The group is comprised of Kemper, Unitrin Specialty and Unitrin Direct. Unitrin is in production with ClaimCenter for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) across its three companies, since January 2009 and continues to implement additional ClaimCenter functionality.
"Congratulations to the teams at California Casualty, MEM, Suncorp and Unitrin for their outstanding achievements and this well deserved recognition," said John Raguin, CEO, Guidewire. "We are enormously proud of what all Guidewire customers are accomplishing around the world and it is very gratifying to see our products enabling a sea change in the way insurers can do business."
