“We selected Guidewire for its market leadership, product maturity, and track record of successful implementation projects,” comments Stacey Jackson, general counsel, Golden Bear. “None of the other P&C industry cloud providers we looked at measured up to Guidewire.

All of that is beautifully organized and presented in Guidewire Cloud so that we have real-time information that we can send to our leadership team or underwriters for their decision-making, as well as to our insureds to help them make better risk management decisions. We will be able to harness the power of Guidewire to do great things for our insureds.”
