FCCI Insurance Group (Sarasota, Fla.) has modernized claims operations through a cloud migration with partners Guidewire (San Mateo, Calif.) and Cognizant (Teaneck, N.J.). The firms helpeed the regional property/casualty insurer to reduce claims processing times and costs and allow agents to focus on improving their customer experiences. Cognizant led the project with FCCI to migrate Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud, empowering the insurer to manage claims more efficiently across its commercial and surety lines of business, according to a joint statement from the companies.
“Implementing Guidewire Cloud has enabled us to modernize and transform our claims organization,” comments Dave Patel, CIO, Commercial Insurance and SVP, FCCI. “We’re proud to be associated with Cognizant and Guidewire and look forward to our continued work with them in becoming more agile, maximizing efficiency, and accelerating our growth.”

Cognizant is a Global Premier Partner in the Guidewire PartnerConnect program, an early adopter of Guidewire Cloud, and the first partner to attain the Guidewire InsuranceNow specialization.
