Increasing IT Staff Efficiency and Maintaining Competitive Advantage
As the state’s largest domestic insurance provider, Oklahoma Farm Mutual Insurance (OKFB) stakes its reputation on excellent service to policyholders statewide. OKFB sells home, auto, and life products as well as commercial, farm, and ranch through offices and agents in all 77 Oklahoma counties.
The insurer deployed Guidewire InsuranceNow on premises in 2007, but to improve how it responds to market demands and enhance customer service, OKFB decided to leverage Guidewire InsuranceNow delivered as a SaaS solution via Guidewire Cloud across all of its lines of business.
Guidewire Cloud is powered by Amazon Web Services’s highly resilient cloud infrastructure, with SLAs backed by experienced Guidewire teams and SaaS-certified partners spanning application management, system administration, security and compliance, upgrades, QA testing, health checks, and other services.
“We have developed a deep partnership with Guidewire through our decade-long use of InsuranceNow, providing us with the opportunity to upgrade our IT capabilities in the cloud so that the company can stay ahead of our competitors and market trends,” said Stephanie Helling, Vice President of Information Services at OKFB Insurance. “We are confident that moving to Guidewire Cloud will help increase our IT staff efficiency by freeing them from having to constantly maintain our systems and instead empowering them to be able to focus on driving mission-critical business objectives to further accelerate our growth and continue our commitment of providing the very best insurance products and service we can offer to our policyholders and agents.”
