Echelon deployed the Guidewire products to its Personal Auto and IRCA (Individually Rated Commercial Auto) lines of business in the province of Ontario and is in the early stages of expanding to those lines of business across Canada. Future rollouts will focus on the company’s other Specialty commercial lines of business, the Guidewire statement sasy.
“As a leading Specialty insurer, it’s important that we’re able to use our data to make better decisions,” comments Robin Joshua, President, Echelon. “With InsuranceSuite, we can now leverage more of our data to inform our product and pricing models. The system also offers a holistic, intuitive claims management environment with fewer manual administrative tasks so our claims adjusters can stay focused on serving our customers and spending more time on high value-added adjusting tasks that positively impact indemnity and expense spend.”
“By adopting agile scrum methodology to implement InsuranceSuite, we were able to complete the project on time and on budget,” says Apra Sekhon, Chief Innovation Officer, Echelon. “Our teams have adapted well to using the system, enjoying the reduced training times and efficiencies it has brought to our business processes.”
