GuideOne's Commercial Lines Move to Guidewire Cloud

GuideOne Insurance is a mutual property and casualty insurer founded in 1947 that serves religious organizations, nonprofits, senior living facilities and small businesses across all 50 states through an independent agent network. The migration replaces periodic, resource-intensive upgrade cycles with continuous updates, according to the announcement.

Tom Troy, chief executive officer at The Mutual Group, said: "Completing this work for our member GuideOne in just 10 months is a critical step in modernizing the foundation on which we can build the next generation of insurance capabilities." Michael Mahoney, Head of Professional Services at Guidewire Software, said GuideOne now has the speed and flexibility to bring new automation, analytics and AI-driven capabilities to its commercial lines business. Neeraj Gupta, EY Americas Guidewire Practice Co-Leader and Insurance Technology Executive, said the migration gives GuideOne a foundation for future innovation and greater flexibility to support its policyholder base.
