Guidewire Software Announces Addition of Verisk Insurance Solutions as New Solution Alliance Partner
Verisk Insurance Solutions joins Guidewire PartnerConnect; announces A-PLUS as its first Ready for Guidewire
accelerator
Verisk Insurance Solutions, a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE), a provider of
software products to property/casualty insurers, today announced that Verisk Insurance Solutions has joined Guidewire
PartnerConnect™ as a Solution Partner. The companies also announced Verisk’s participation in the Ready
for Guidewire accelerator validation program.
A leading source of information about property/casualty insurance risk, Verisk Insurance Solutions will provide Ready for
Guidewire accelerators to make it easier for any insurance company using Guidewire PolicyCenter® for policy administration to
integrate with its solutions, reducing implementation time and effort.
A-PLUS™ Property, Verisk’s property claims loss history solution, will be the first Verisk solution to receive the Ready for
Guidewire validation mark. A-PLUS offers detailed information about previous auto and property claims activity and
cost-effective claims loss history indicators to optimize underwriting expenses. The A-PLUS Property accelerator now enables all of
the information offered by A-PLUS to be directly accessible from within PolicyCenter.
“Verisk is committed to making its data and analytics solutions available to insurers however they choose to consume
information,” said Steve Lekas, senior vice president, Personal Lines Underwriting, Verisk Insurance Solutions. “Making our
solutions Guidewire-ready further enhances the functionality and speed of delivery of several industry-leading solutions that
Verisk offers the industry.”
“We are pleased to welcome Verisk Insurance Solutions to the Guidewire PartnerConnect program as a Solution partner. We
have enjoyed a strong alliance with Verisk for many years, including collaborating closely on ISO Electronic Rating Content (ERC),
and are excited to expand our overall relationship with Verisk. This alliance will make it simpler and faster for our mutual
customers to integrate PolicyCenter with several key Verisk solutions,” added Neil Betteridge, vice president, Strategy, Guidewire
Software.
The A-PLUS Property integration is expected to be closely followed by Verisk’s A-PLUS Auto loss history solution and Coverage
Verifier Auto policy history solution. Coverage Verifier provides current and prior coverage experience for personal auto insurers,
helping them to make better risk selection and pricing decisions. Verisk plans to continue to integrate additional underwriting and
claims solutions with InsuranceSuite, making them “Ready for Guidewire” throughout 2016 and beyond.
