Our take
Insurance is an age-old industry rooted in ancient technology. Despite the substantial power and revenue of these companies, their backend systems have become outdated, leading to rising relative costs. The challenge of modernizing such entrenched systems has been a significant hurdle for many insurers.

The company is dedicated to evolving its offerings through close collaboration with its extensive customer base. This intimate engagement helps Guideire refine and enhance its cloud solutions to better meet the needs of it sclients.
Despite its successes in facilitating the cloud transition, the future may see the emergence of insurance providers built on entirely different infrastructures. Guidewire's ability to adapt and leverage its expertise and adapt will be crucial for maintaining its role as a leading technology provider.
