Guidewire DataHub™ and InfoCenter to enable workers’ compensation
insurer to leverage data insights to help staff better respond to
policyholders
Texas Mutual Insurance Company (Texas Mutual), Texas’ leading provider
of workers’ compensation insurance, and Guidewire Software, Inc.
(NYSE:GWRE), a provider of software products to Property/Casualty (P/C)
insurers, today announced that Texas Mutual has selected Guidewire
DataHub™ and InfoCenter to support its enterprise-wide data management
and business intelligence strategies.
Texas Mutual selected DataHub and InfoCenter to replace its
internally-built system and help make data easier to access and
understand for its users. Texas Mutual successfully deployed Guidewire
ClaimCenter® in 2014 and is currently implementing PolicyCenter and
BillingCenter. DataHub and InfoCenter will be deployed concurrently with
PolicyCenter and BillingCenter.
“We are excited about the prospect of using Guidewire DataHub and
InfoCenter as our primary data source,” said Randy McKean, senior
manager, Information Technology, Texas Mutual. “Having a complete
solution with InsuranceSuite and Guidewire’s data management and
business intelligence products will allow our users to quickly retrieve
data and generate actionable business insights.”
DataHub and InfoCenter will enable Texas Mutual to:
-
Improve the ease of doing business for staff through the deployment of
self-service options that will enable them to access reports and
conduct queries independently;
-
Better map and convert data through the full InsuranceSuite product
line; and
-
Provide a single view of data to users across the organization,
including claims, finance and underwriting.
“Good data is critical to helping the organization achieve its strategic
goals,” said Terry Buchheit, vice president, Application Services,
Information Technology Division, Texas Mutual. “The implementation of
DataHub and InfoCenter, when combined with InsuranceSuite, will provide
us with significantly greater operational visibility, in order to be
more responsive to our customers and business partners.”
“We are pleased that Texas Mutual has selected Guidewire DataHub and
InfoCenter,” said Steve Sherry, group vice president, America Sales,
Guidewire Software. “We look forward to helping them realize their goal
of gaining access to insights and data from across their business.”
Guidewire DataHub™ is an operational data store that unifies,
standardizes, and stores data from the typical patchwork of an insurer’s
systems as well as from external sources. This provides the single
source of truth to feed core systems, business intelligence solutions,
and downstream systems such as general ledger, regulatory, and tax
reporting. DataHub decouples data consumption from data production, thus
insulating downstream data consumers from changes in the behavior and
configuration of upstream data producers. With DataHub, insurers can
more easily retire legacy systems, ensure business continuity during
core system transformation, and add new applications in the future.
Guidewire InfoCenter™ is a business intelligence warehouse optimized for
the Property/Casualty industry to provide information in easy to use
formats for business intelligence, analysis, and enhanced decision
making. Pre-integration with Guidewire products significantly reduces
implementation time, risk and maintenance overhead, allowing customers
to focus on configuration for their unique needs. It is compatible with
a variety of industry-standard business intelligence tools.
