According to a vendor statement, Guidewire and Salesforce customers will benefit from their collaboration through a series of cloud-based products, already under development, starting with a consistent and integrated 360-degree view of their customers across the two platforms.
Guidewire explains the rationale of the new offerings saying that having a 360-degree view of an insurance customer serves as a foundation for future joint capabilities such as optimizing leads, increasing customer retention, and running customer-centric operations.
“We are excited to align with Guidewire and highly respect their global expertise in the P&C insurance industry,” comments Rohit Mahna, Senior VP & General Manager, Financial Services, Salesforce. “By leveraging the power of the Salesforce Platform, Guidewire will deepen the industry specific CRM capabilities the competitive insurer requires, offering a 360-degree view of their customers.”
