Guidewire
Software® (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products to
Property/Casualty insurers, today announced the availability of a new Guidewire
LiveSM app for insurers going to market through the
independent agency channel. Guidewire Live MyAgents™, the seventh
Guidewire Live app, provides insurance field marketers and territory
managers with metrics, guidance, and support tools they need to work
together with their producer channel to drive market share.
Additionally, Guidewire announced that regional insurer Utica First
Insurance Company has selected the MyAgents app.
MyAgents™ is a web-based app designed for browser and mobile use that
dramatically enhances insight into agency performance, gets everyone on
the same page, and shifts the focus to proactive steps that can increase
sales, retention, and productivity. The application uses internal and
third party data sources to turn subjective anecdotal information into
objective actionable intelligence. By providing real time data and
alerts, MyAgents dramatically shortens and simplifies the preparation
time needed for insurer / agency visits, and makes sure all parties are
working from the same data, allowing marketing reps to spend more
quality time with their agents in productive business discussions.
“At Utica First, we strive to make it easy for our agents to engage with
us and to bring value to these long-standing relationships. MyAgents
will help our marketing representatives fulfill that mission by making
it easier to view a complete picture of agency performance, and stay
current through real-time updates and alerts,” said David Jarvis, vice
president, Agencies, Utica First.
Jarvis continued, “We were impressed with how simple MyAgents is to use
and the fact that it can be taught to our staff in just a couple of
days’ time. We are excited to get started right away.”
“We welcome Utica First to the Guidewire and Live communities,” said
Eugene Lee, senior director, Guidewire Software. “Optimizing agency
interactions and relationships is a key way insurers can drive revenue
growth. MyAgents is a readily deployable, mobile agency management
solution designed expressly for this purpose.”
Lee concluded, “MyAgents, like other apps on the Guidewire Live
platform, provides real-time access to relevant information right when
it is needed. We are pleased to extend this access to those in the
organization that serve agents.”
