Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE) a provider of software products to
Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, today announced that it will add
support for IBM® DB2® Linux, UNIX and Windows database software for
Guidewire ClaimCenter® 8. The addition expands the database system
options available to Guidewire
ClaimCenter customers.
“We are pleased to expand our database support options for customers as
they embark on their claims transformation journeys,” said Ben Brantley,
chief technology officer, Guidewire Software. “In addition to offering
customers the option of running on DB2, those insurers already running
DB2 will now have the ability to implement ClaimCenter without needing
to change their relational database management system. We are pleased to
work with IBM to support our mutual customers in this way.”
“Insurers are among the most demanding organizations when it comes to
fast, reliable, and secure data management, and use of analytics to
optimize business results,” said Sean Poulley, vice president, databases
and warehousing, IBM Software Group. “Guidewire solutions already run on
a wide range of IBM hardware and software platforms including Power
Systems and the AIX operating system, System x, and WebSphere
Application Server. We are excited that insurers running their business
with ClaimCenter are now able to leverage the unique power of DB2 for
reliable transaction speed.”
