GFT helps French mutual insurer Macif migrate
their largest business line to Guidewire InsuranceSuite on the
cloud
Over 180,000 quotations, 70,000 contracts, and 300 claims
submitted in the first three weeks. French mutual insurer Macif is
now using Europe’s leading core insurance platform on the
cloud.
Macif has deployed Guidewire InsuranceSuite for their largest
business line, Mobility, on Guidewire Cloud. The successful
project, which was managed by global digital transformation leader
GFT, sets new standards in the industry and brings
substantial savings and competitive advantages for
Macif.
“This new solution should allow us to go to market faster with
new value propositions, and offer more customised solutions to our
members through the technical architecture of Guidewire‘s
products,” says Yann Arnaud, Macif Chief Marketing and Innovation
Officer. “In addition, this should improve the quality of our
underwriting, policyholder lifecycle tracking, and claims handling,
through the intuitive nature of the applications; indeed, their
ease of use has surpassed our expectation.”
“We wanted to be able to focus more on our core competency –
taking care of our members – and spending less time on managing IT
systems,” adds Fabrice Leyglene, Macif CIO. “This cloud solution
also makes the white-labelling of our products and services for
re-sellers much easier. So this migration directly serves to
further our business strategy. And finally, we will be able to
integrate relatively easily the most advanced cloud solutions in
the market into the various elements of our value chain.”
Emmanuel Naudin, Regional Vice President, Sales – EMEA,
Guidewire, added: “This is the largest implementation of Guidewire
InsuranceSuite on the cloud in Europe so far. Macif are showing
with this that they are at the forefront of technological
innovation in the insurance industry. The solution ran very well
from day one, and that is a testament to the great collaboration
between Macif, our partner GFT, and Guidewire.”
“This was an ambitious undertaking. The magnitude of this cloud
implementation is a milestone for Guidewire in Europe. But we knew
we could do it, Macif trusted that we could, and by using resources
and experts from five countries in Europe and America, we got the
job done,” says Mathieu Liabaud, Managing Director GFT France.
Free up resources, focus on core competencies, cut
costs
With this step, Macif gains numerous cost and business benefits.
Specifically, the benefits are:
- White-labelling of products or services for re-sellers
becomes much easier;
- The software is maintained and managed by Guidewire, freeing
up Macif’s IT department to focus on matters more central to
the business;
- Not requiring on-premises hardware and manpower for maintaining
the systems reduces IT spending;
- The SaaS solution can always be up to date with
minimal disruption;
- The solution is easy to use, giving customer service employees
more time to interact with members and build their
relationships; and
- New products or services are quicker and
easier to launch than with Macif’s legacy system.
Macif’s entire P&C business to be implemented in future
deployments
Macif is using Guidewire InsuranceSuite for its policy
administration, underwriting, and claims management. The recent
migration of Macif’s Mobility business line follows the initial
migration of their Fleet business line. All other P&C
business lines are scheduled for implementation on Guidewire
Cloud in follow-up releases in the next couple of years. For
the migration of Macif’s Mobility business line, up to 130 GFT
experts from France, Canada, Spain, Poland, and Costa Rica were
involved.
