Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Insurance is an age-old industry built on ancient technology. While the power and revenues of these companies remains large, they have seen relative costs rises as their backend technology becomes dated.
Guidewire is helping Property and Casualty insurers come into the 21st century by providing mission-critical software that delivers on the cloud. The company is now focusing on working intimately with their impressive customer community in order to iterate on their cloud offerings.
While the company has had major success in enabling this cloud transition, the providers of tomorrow will likely be built with different infrastructure altogether. Guidewire will hope that it can leverage its expertise and data to ensure it can continue to provision additional technology services to even the most forward-looking providers.
Following the company's announcement to purchase up to $400 million of its outstanding shares, the company's stock prices have remained encouraging. With an almost $6 billion valuation as of February 2023, the company is well set for continued growth.
