Mutual of Enumclaw, a mutual insurance company offering products for
individuals, families, farms, and businesses, and Guidewire Software,
Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products to Property/Casualty
insurers, today announced that Mutual of Enumclaw has deployed Guidewire
BillingCenter® to manage its billing operations including agency and
direct bill for all of its lines of business.
Seeking to improve and simplify the overall experience for its agents
and policyholders, Mutual of Enumclaw sought to consolidate its two
billing systems. Additionally the company was trying to generate new
business. The insurer devised an “on-demand” migration process for its
policyholders. For policyholders with multiple accounts at Mutual of
Enumclaw, the first account that came up for renewal would trigger all
their other accounts to be migrated to the new system at one time. This
reduced the disruption potential of migrating all accounts to
BillingCenter simultaneously and enabled Mutual of Enumclaw to ensure a
seamless transition for policyholders.
“The successful implementation of BillingCenter has been a huge
milestone for us,” said David Wilson, chief information officer, Mutual
of Enumclaw. “Leveraging BillingCenter’s flexibility and Guidewire’s
agile implementation process has enabled us to meet our specific needs
and provide the best service possible to our policyholders and
independent agents.”
BillingCenter is enabling Mutual of Enumclaw to:
-
Deliver on key strategic imperatives to improve customer service;
-
Readily make system changes to meet changing business and technical
requirements; and
-
Lower IT costs by consolidating and standardizing billing systems and
processes on a common platform.
“We congratulate Mutual of Enumclaw on their successful BillingCenter
implementation,” said Mike Polelle, chief delivery officer, Guidewire
Software. “We are impressed by their focus on providing excellent
service to customers and brokers alike, and are delighted to work
alongside them in this project.”
Guidewire BillingCenter is a comprehensive billing and receivables
management system built on the core design principles of automation,
control and flexibility. BillingCenter allows you to deliver insurance
your way by making it easier to automate the billing lifecycle; design
flexible billing, payment and delinquency plans; manage agent
commissions; and enable rapid integration with external payment systems.
BillingCenter is available as a standalone system or as part of
Guidewire InsuranceSuite®, and can be integrated to a Property/Casualty
insurer’s legacy systems or third-party applications.
