The vendor reports that ClaimCenter will replace Atlas’ in-house claims management system, giving it new capabilities to automate its claims lifecycle management processes, including loss report intakes, adjudication, reporting, and claims tracking. Atlas will implement ClaimCenter simultaneously across its locations in 47 states. The company has been using Guidewire Predictive Analytics for Claims since 2016 and will integrate the product with ClaimCenter to provide real-time decision-making insights.
“Guidewire’s product maturity, market share, and track record of successful implementations were important factors in our decision-making process,” comments Scott Wollney, President and CEO, Atlas. “We have been pleased with the modeling we have developed with Predictive Analytics for Claims and look forward to serving our policyholders and other stakeholders better by preparing for, identifying, and addressing individual claims even more quickly and appropriately with ClaimCenter.”

As a metrics-based company, data is our lifeblood, so ClaimCenter will give us the crucial ability to access that data from one system quickly and easily.”
