insurers, today announced that it has been named the winner of two 2014
XCelent Awards in Celent’s Claims Systems Vendors: North American P&C
Insurance 20141 report. Guidewire ClaimCenter® was
recognized as the top solution out of 31 vendors in the Breadth of
Functionality and Customer Base categories.
The XCelent Functionality Award for the best solution in the “Breadth of
Functionality” category is based on several criteria, including the
power and ease of use of rules, workflow, product configuration, and
document management capabilities; basic, advanced, and additional
functionality for the base offering; references’ view of features and
functions; and number of deployments for various personal and commercial
lines of business. Read the report here.
The XCelent Customer Base Award for the leading solution in the
“Customer Base” category considered the number of North American
customers across various tiers and using various versions; the number of
North American customers in implementation; and the number of customers
outside North America to select the top performer in this category.
Guidewire has won the award in this category in the last three North
American Claims Systems Vendors reports that Celent has published.
