Capital Insurance Group (CIG), a leading regional Property/Casualty
(P/C) insurer serving the Western United States, and Guidewire Software,
Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products to P/C insurers,
today announced that CIG has selected Guidewire BillingCenter® to
help it oversee its billing operations, including agency and direct
bill, across all of its lines of business. BillingCenter will also help
CIG manage its commission calculations and payment.
In an effort to update the technology platform supporting its billing
operations and become more responsive to their agents and policyholders,
CIG selected BillingCenter. The company sought to increase its
flexibility, enable its business users to make modifications to payment
plans, and more easily make system changes when needed. BillingCenter’s
comprehensive functionality, configurability, ease of integration, and
intuitive user interface also appealed to CIG.
“In the past, when we wanted to make a change to our billing system, it
became a time consuming and involved process due to the complexity of
our system’s architecture,” said Rads Mydam chief information officer
and vice president, Information Technology, Capital Insurance. “We are
looking forward to being able to more easily make changes, and when we
ultimately upgrade the system, we foresee the process going quickly and
smoothly given BillingCenter’s highly configurable platform.”
BillingCenter will enable CIG to:
-
Provide fast, accurate service to its customers and agents due to
BillingCenter’s automated functionality;
-
Tailor payment practices and methods to customer preferences; and
-
Readily make system changes to meet changing business and technical
requirements.
“The seamless billing process and enhanced customer experience that
BillingCenter will bring will positively affect our customer retention
rate,” said Gray Tyndall, chief financial officer, Capital Insurance
Group. “From a new business perspective, BillingCenter will help us give
potential customers, as well as new targeted segments, more billing
options, letting them choose their payment schedule as well as how they
receive and pay their bills.”
“We welcome Capital Insurance Group to the Guidewire family as a
BillingCenter customer,” said Steve Sherry, group vice president,
Americas Sales, Guidewire Software. “We recognize their commitment to
providing high levels of service to their customers and agents and look
forward to working with them on their billing transformation journey.”
