Leading Canadian specialty insurer leveraging
Guidewire InsuranceSuite to increase business agility and deliver
more value to brokers, partners, and policyholders
Echelon Insurance (Echelon), a leading Canadian Specialty
insurer, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Echelon has
successfully deployed InsuranceSuite and DataHub as its new
underwriting, policy administration, claims, billing, and
enterprise-wide data management solution. Guidewire PartnerConnect
Consulting members Cognizant and Infosys supported the
implementation project.
Echelon deployed the Guidewire products to its Personal Auto and
IRCA (Individually Rated Commercial Auto) lines of business in the
province of Ontario and is in the early stages of expanding to
those lines of business across Canada. Future rollouts will focus
on the company’s other Specialty commercial lines of business.
“As a leading Specialty insurer, it’s important that we’re able
to use our data to make better decisions. With InsuranceSuite, we
can now leverage more of our data to inform our product and pricing
models,” said Robin Joshua, President of Echelon. “The system also
offers a holistic, intuitive claims management environment with
fewer manual administrative tasks so our claims adjusters can stay
focused on serving our customers and spending more time on high
value-added adjusting tasks that positively impact indemnity and
expense spend.”
Chief Innovation Officer for Echelon, Apra Sekhon added, “By
adopting agile scrum methodology to implement InsuranceSuite, we
were able to complete the project on time and on budget. Our teams
have adapted well to using the system, enjoying the reduced
training times and efficiencies it has brought to our business
processes.”
“We congratulate Echelon on its successful InsuranceSuite
deployment,” said Mike Polelle, Chief Delivery Officer, Guidewire.
“We are honored to be providing the technology foundation to enable
Echelon to continue its mission of providing personal and
commercial insurance solutions to protect Canadian families and
businesses.”
Echelon also deployed SmartCOMM™ from Smart Communications for
customer communications management. Guidewire is a reseller of
SmartCOMM for Smart Communications, a Guidewire PartnerConnect
Solution member.
