As a brand marketer, few moments light me up like Superbowl Sunday. It’s packed with ads, which companies have paid astonishingly high fees to place, not to mention the millions they’ve spent to produce them. The stakes are high. 

But, of all the days on this marketing nerd’s calendar, today is the most highly-anticipated. 

Today, Guidewire was named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS P&C Core Platforms, North America, a recognition we are immensely proud of. This report speaks to both our ability to execute and the completeness of our vision. It’s a moment of pride for our entire team, and a moment of profound gratitude for the valued customers and trusted partners who have linked arms with us along this journey.

In a world where cloud solutions are essential, we believe our position in the Leaders Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant underscores the value of our innovative approach and our ability to meet the evolving needs of insurers worldwide. But, as comprehensive as the Gartner report is, there’s so much more to the Guidewire story than one report can deliver.

Our move to the cloud has been a game changer for our customers. With the P&C industry facing unprecedented pressure to modernize in response to the increasing impact of global climate risk, evolving regulatory requirements, and emerging technology, Guidewire was uniquely positioned to answer that call. By deploying Guidewire Cloud, insurers benefit from:

  • Scalability: Whether dealing with seasonal spikes or rapid market changes, Guidewire enables insurers to scale their operations seamlessly.
  • Faster Time to Market: Insurers can launch products faster, respond to emerging trends more quickly, and maintain a competitive edge.
  • Continuous Innovation: Our cloud offering ensures that clients are always on the latest version, with no disruptions, providing access to continuous upgrades and new features.
  • Unmatched Security: With trusted enterprise-grade security, Guidewire safeguards sensitive policyholder data, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.

And, all of this has come with the highest level of validation any software company could hope for: more than 570 insurance brands in 42 countries trust Guidewire to help them navigate the complexities of the modern insurance landscape with agility and confidence. 

Beyond transforming insurers’ operations, Guidewire’s impact extends deep into society. Everything from pets to supply chains are insured to protect against loss. Faster, more accurate claims processing means insurers can offer quicker resolutions in times of crisis, from natural disasters to everyday accidents. And, with more precise underwriting powered by PolicyCenter, consumers benefit from fairer pricing and more personalized products.

Our use of AI and automation in core processes allows insurers to redirect resources toward emerging risks, such as developing products that address climate change or cybersecurity. By continuously innovating, we are helping insurers protect communities, businesses, and individuals in a rapidly changing world. As a technology marketer serving the insurance industry, knowing that our work is directly impacting families and businesses across the globe is both humbling and tremendously rewarding.

At Guidewire, our mission is to power insurance agility with the platform P&C insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently. As we continue to lead the way in P&C insurance technology, our vision remains focused on empowering insurers and ensuring a better future for society. We believe our recognition as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant serves as validation of our commitment to engineering excellence and customer success, and we look forward to helping insurers navigate the evolving landscape with confidence and excitement for the future.
