Customer Discussion As the environment surrounding the P&C insurance industry continues to change at an unprecedented pace, we need to rethink Guidewire not simply as a core system, but as an integrated platform that accelerates the entire business. This session focuses on how to harness the full Guidewire Cloud stack, and the kind of impact that can be achieved when each component is connected end to end, rather than operating as isolated points. To bring this to life, we’ll hear candid, real-world experiences from senior leaders at Sompo Direct and MOTOR Technologies, who are already transforming their businesses on Guidewire Cloud. |
