Grinnell Mutual Leverages Guidewire InsurancePlatform via Guidewire Cloud
Multi-state property and casualty insurance provider to use Guidewire’s industry platform in the cloud to
increase business agility and enhance user experience
Grinnell Mutual, a century-old property and casualty insurer and reinsurer, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE), the
provider of the industry platform Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers rely upon, today announced that Grinnell Mutual will
leverage Guidewire InsurancePlatform™, delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution via Guidewire Cloud™. This move will
enable Grinnell Mutual to adapt quickly to changing market demands and enhance customer service.
Grinnell Mutual originally selected InsurancePlatform to transform how it does business and enhance its commitment to serving
its policyholders, agents, and mutual members. The company is currently migrating the platform to Guidewire Cloud across all lines
of business, beginning in Pennsylvania.
Guidewire Cloud is powered by AWS’s highly resilient cloud infrastructure, with SLAs backed by experienced Guidewire teams and
SaaS-certified partners spanning application management, system administration, security and compliance, upgrades, QA testing,
health checks, and other services. With Guidewire Cloud, insurers can focus on business agility while transferring
undifferentiating IT responsibilities to Guidewire.
“We initially selected InsurancePlatform because we believe in Guidewire’s vision, product maturity, and innovation, and ability
to deliver on the biggest organizational transformation we have undertaken,” said Roby Shay, Grinnell Mutual’s chief information
officer and vice president, Enterprise Solutions. “We are confident that moving to Guidewire Cloud will help us further transform
our business and continue our commitment to providing our insureds, agents, and mutual members with the very best insurance
products and service we can offer.”
“Grinnell recognizes the advantages of running its business in the cloud,” said Steve Sherry, chief sales officer, Guidewire
Software. “We are humbled by their vote of confidence in our cloud services capabilities and applaud their mission of providing
quality insurance and service to agents and policyholders as they adapt their business for success in a time of accelerating
change.”
