Workers’ compensation insurer leveraging
Guidewire Cloud to increase business agility and deliver more value
to customers
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), a leading
workplace compensation board in Ontario, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE)
announced that the WSIB successfully deployed Guidewire
PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter on Guidewire Cloud to
power and simplify the company’s underwriting, policy
administration, billing management, and IT operations, adapt more
quickly to changing market demands, and deliver more value to its
policyholders. The agency migrated its existing on-premises
PolicyCenter and BillingCenter installations onto Guidewire Cloud.
Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Select member Wipro led the
implementation project.
“Guidewire is a strategic technology platform for us, having
proved its reliability, security, and stability since 2012,” said
WSIB Chief Corporate Services and Technology Officer Andrea
McKinney. “By moving to Guidewire Cloud, we’ve now transferred
responsibility for system maintenance to Guidewire so we can
modernize and stay current with its technology and innovations,
thereby putting us in a better risk position from a technology
perspective and enabling us to do more value-added work.”
McKinney continued, “Thanks to the incredible partnership our
team had with Wipro and Guidewire, along with the change management
and business readiness plans in place, we were able to implement
PolicyCenter and BillingCenter on Guidewire Cloud on time and on
budget, and have received positive feedback from our users about
the products’ stability and ease of use. We’re looking forward to
leveraging the world of innovation that comes with Guidewire Cloud
by taking advantage of new cloud-only features and products such as
Guidewire Jutro Digital Platform, and also integrating with the
third-party, best-in-class insurtechs that comprise the Guidewire
Marketplace and PartnerConnect ecosystem to deliver exemplary
customer service.”
Wipro Solutions Canada Limited President and Managing Director
Kim Watson added, "We are thrilled and honored to have led the
successful cloud implementation of Guidewire PolicyCenter and
BillingCenter at the WSIB. By harnessing the power of Guidewire
Cloud, the WSIB has gained agility across their entire enterprise,
enabling them to swiftly adapt to evolving market demands and
seamlessly implement new tools and upgrades. This implementation
reinforces their commitment to staying at the forefront of the
insurance industry."
Guidewire Senior Vice President of Professional Services Michael
Mahoney remarked, “We congratulate the WSIB on successfully
migrating PolicyCenter and BillingCenter onto Guidewire Cloud.
We’re delighted that Guidewire serves as the technology foundation
to help the company transform its underwriting, risk selection, and
pricing operations in the cloud, and we’re proud to provide the
innovation platform for the WSIB to continually advance its mission
to reduce the impact of workplace illness and injury on people and
businesses in Ontario.”
