Accenture’s Guidewire expertise

in action…


A top 20 global P&C groupA top 20 global P&C group, with operations in more than 20 countries, had standardized on Guidewire ClaimCenter® in its three primary markets: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. But it was supporting three different versions with separate support models.

To provide application development and maintenance services to the carrier globally, Accenture built a centralized Guidewire ClaimCenter support team in India with over 60 resources, supported by a small team in each of the key markets.

All three service transitions were successfully concluded in less than three months, in the process reducing the group’s application support costs and introducing more flexible, consistent ways of working.


Pacifico Seguros is one of the largest insurers in Latin America.Accenture is implementing the entire Guidewire InsuranceSuite, including PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and ClaimCenter.

The results are clear:• Within six months we had helped the carrier

halve its time-to-market and reduce its sales costs per policy by 35%.

• We delivered the full suite for the auto line of business within12 months, and the property, liability and retail & commercial motor lines 11 months later.

The last to be implemented are the remaining commercial lines and specialty products.


“Accenture brings to Pacifico a robust combination of deep functional, technical and management skills, which have been fundamental to the success of our transformation program.”

Axel Pozo, CIO,Pacifico Seguros


A large P&C insurerThis large P&C insurer launched the first of four major transformation programs implementing Guidewire’s ClaimCenter software. This entailed changing not only its claims processes but also the roles and responsibilities of its claims representatives.

Accenture helped develop a new end-user learning strategy and a new 120-hour role-based training curriculum for some 4,000 claims system users. The insurer now enjoys:• A reusable, highly leverageable set of content

with its own tracking and reporting capabilities.

• A reduction in the average training delivery time from 40 to 32 hours.

• Costs cut by 25%.
