Guidewire announced that Google Cloud (BigQuery, Analytics Hub), Celonis, Hubio, and AWS have joined the Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution Alliance Program. These new partners leverage Guidewire Cloud Data Access (CDA) to help insurers accelerate enterprise-wide data integration use cases for reporting, data warehousing, process mining, and analytics.
What do the new members bring to the program?
The newest members join as data partners and are already in use by our customers:
Amazon Web Services (Analytics on AWS)
As the cloud infrastructure powering Guidewire Cloud Platform, AWS offers insurers the most scalable and cost-effective services for data movement, data storage, data lakes, analytics, intelligence, and machine learning. AWS and Guidewire are working together to use Guidewire Cloud Data Access and an Amazon EMR-based architecture to cost-effectively scale downstream data movement from Guidewire Cloud to populate insurers’ analytic apps.
Celonis
Celonis helps companies find and capture business value in their processes, enabling them to perform at levels they never thought possible. As part of the collaboration with Guidewire, Celonis analyzes InsuranceSuite data to identify process bottlenecks and optimize workflows.
Hubio (regul8)
Hubio provides cloud services for P&C insurers to streamline their operations. regul8 is a regulatory reporting service that incorporates best practices and automation to better manage submission quality, corrections, and reconciliations.
“We are excited to be taking our long-standing Guidewire partnership to the next level; leveraging Guidewire Cloud’s native data integration capabilities, we are expanding support of one of the industry’s first Statistical Reporting as a Service to all North American reporting jurisdictions,” commented Philip Henville, President and Chief Executive Officer at Hubio.
Google Cloud (BigQuery & Analytics Hub)
BigQuery is Google Cloud’s full-managed enterprise data warehouse that helps clients analyze data. Analytics Hub is the data exchange to allow for secure and efficient data assets sharing.
“The combination of Guidewire’s leading P&C solutions along with Google Cloud’s world-class Data, AI and Analytics provides the best-in-class combination for carriers world over looking to get the most from their Insurance Data,” said Nigel Walsh, MD Insurance, Google Cloud.
What does the partnership mean for Guidewire?
“We have decided to focus on data partners as we grow our comprehensive PartnerConnect Solution ecosystem,” said Will Murphy, Vice President, Global Solution Alliances, Guidewire.
“We are excited to welcome AWS, Celonis, Hubio, and Google Cloud, who will help our customers gain the flexibility to move, analyze, and integrate their core system data with third-party platforms and applications of their choosing. This will make it even easier for insurers running on Guidewire Cloud to speed up their time to value and insight.”
Each partner has built an out-of-the-box connector to Guidewire Cloud that provides secure, low latency access to all Guidewire InsuranceSuite data, including all intra-daily changes.
