Promutuel Insurance Selects Guidewire Solution for Data Management
Canadian Property and Casualty insurer to use Guidewire DataHub™ to expedite data access
Promutuel Insurance, one of Quebec’s largest Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE),
a provider of software products to P&C insurers, today announced that Promutuel Insurance has selected Guidewire DataHub™ to
support its enterprise-wide data management strategy. Guidewire PartnerConnect™ Consulting Advantage member, V-NEO, is
leading the implementation project, with Guidewire working in close collaboration.
Promutuel selected DataHub for more efficient data extraction and translation, conformant data consolidation, and publication to
downstream systems. Promutuel is planning to first integrate its policy data into DataHub and followed by claims, starting with its
personal lines of business, then moving on to its commercial lines of business, with the goal of full deployment across its 17
member mutuals by 2018.
DataHub will enable Promutuel to:
- More quickly deliver mission-critical data to users;
- Better map and convert data into its new core systems; and
- Provide a single view of data to users across the organization, including claims and
underwriting.
In an earlier project, Promutuel Insurance successfully deployed Guidewire PolicyCenter®, Rating Management, and Reinsurance
Management as its platform for underwriting, rating, reinsurance, and policy administration. The company was looking for a system
to help increase its operational efficiencies and continue its ongoing business transformation initiative, building on its
successful 2012 deployment of Guidewire ClaimCenter®. PolicyCenter was successfully deployed to Promutuel Insurance’s commercial
and farm lines of business, and is currently being implemented to its personal and surety lines of business, with the goal of full
deployment in 2018.
“We are enthusiastic about the prospect of using Guidewire DataHub as our primary data source,” said Guy Lecours, chief
operating officer, Promutuel Insurance. “Integrating ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter with DataHub will allow our users to retrieve
data quickly and efficiently.”
“We are honored to continue Promutuel Insurance’s business transformation journey,” said Marc Hughes, Executive Vice-President,
V-NEO. “As a favored supplier of Promutuel Insurance through our five-year agreement, we look forward to leading this
implementation project.”
“We congratulate Promutuel Insurance on their successful PolicyCenter implementation, and are pleased that they have extended
their Guidewire commitment with the selection of DataHub,” said Ken Shapiro, group vice president, Americas Sales, Guidewire
Software. “We are excited to work with Promutuel Insurance to help them achieve their goal of more effectively and efficiently
accessing data from across their business.”
