A top 20 global P&C group
A top 20 global P&C group, with operations in more than 20
countries, had standardized on Guidewire ClaimCenter® in its three
primary markets: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. But it
was supporting three different versions with separate support
models.
To provide application development and maintenance services to
the carrier globally, Accenture built a centralized Guidewire
ClaimCenter support team in India with over 60 resources,
supported by a small team in each of the key markets.
All three service transitions were successfully concluded in less
than three months, in the process reducing the group’s application
support costs and introducing more flexible, consistent ways of
working.

Pacifico Seguros is one of the largest insurers in Latin
America.
Accenture is implementing the entire Guidewire
InsuranceSuite, including PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and
ClaimCenter.
The results are clear:
• Within six months we had helped the carrier halve its
time-to-market and reduce its sales costs per policy by
35%.
• We delivered the full suite for the auto line of business
within
12 months, and the property, liability and retail &
commercial motor lines 11 months later.
The last to be implemented are the remaining commercial
lines and specialty products.

A large P&C insurer
This large P&C insurer launched the first of four major
transformation programs implementing Guidewire’s
ClaimCenter software. This entailed changing not only its
claims processes but also the roles and responsibilities of
its claims representatives.
Accenture helped develop a new end-user learning strategy
and a new 120-hour role-based training curriculum for
some 4,000 claims system users. The insurer now enjoys:
• A reusable, highly leverageable set of content with its
own tracking and reporting capabilities.
• A reduction in the average training delivery time from
40 to 32 hours.
• Costs cut by 25%.
