As part of its digital transformation journey, property and casualty insurer Encova Insurance has selected Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to power its core business and simplify its IT operations.
Encova, a Guidewire customer since 2014, aims to migrate its InsuranceSuite from a self-managed environment onto Guidewire Cloud simultaneously for all of its lines of business and states where it operates.
Casey Jordan, Encova VP, Information Technology Application Services, said: “By leveraging InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud, we will be able to shift system maintenance to Guidewire, so we can stay current on the latest innovations and decrease our own on-premise technology infrastructure footprint, enabling our IT staff to focus on tasks that deliver value to our agents and policyholders. We will also be able to manage risk by maturing our business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.”
Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Global Premier member PwC has been selected to lead the implementation project.
“We are thrilled that Encova entrusted PwC again to deliver the next stage of its transformation journey through the implementation of InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud,” said PwC Partner Imran Ilyas.
Adding: “Cloud transformation is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses to stay competitive in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. As a trusted partner, we are committed to delivering the highest level of expertise and support to Encova as they embark on this project.”
Commenting on the partnership Guidewire Chief Marketing Officer Brian Desmond, said: “It’s been a true honour partnering with Encova in driving innovation and growth.
“As we transition into the next chapter together with Guidewire Cloud, we are excited to fulfill our role in delivering the agility Encova can depend on to continually enhance its offerings and services for agents and policyholders.”
