Having successfully deployed Guidewire ClaimCenter as part of its business transformation initiative, Quebec City-based Promutuel Insurance has selected the vendor’s PolicyCenter system as its new underwriting and policy administration solution for the carrier’s commercial and farm lines of business. Promutuel will also implement Guidewire Rating and Guidewire Reinsurance Management with in a project led by Quebec-based systems integrator V-NEO.
As Promutuel moved beyond the implementation of new claims capabilities, the insurer was looking for a system to help it automate several business processes eliminating clerical tasks and synchronize its underwriting and policy administration efforts across its network of 26 mutual insurance associations, according to a Guidewire statement.
