FMG, New Zealand’s leading rural insurer, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), a provider of software products to Property/Casualty insurers, today announced that FMG has selected Guidewire ClaimCenter® as its new claims management system. FMG also selected Guidewire Claim Portal for Vendors™. With this selection, FMG is now a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite™ customer, having deployed BillingCenter and PolicyCenter in 2013 through all lines of its business.
ClaimCenter will replace FMG’s in-house claims management system, giving it new capabilities to help it more efficiently and effectively deliver on the service commitments to its clients while improving employee satisfaction.
“We selected ClaimCenter for a number of reasons,” said Geoff Yeats, General Manager of Business Information Services, FMG. “Following on from our positive experiences with PolicyCenter and BillingCenter, the adoption of ClaimCenter will help us to continue to enhance our client’s service experience and employee satisfaction. Smart tools for smart people.”
The new Guidewire products will enable FMG to:
Leverage industry claims management best practices;
Implement a modern platform to improve the overall claims experience for policyholders; and
Obtain better visibility into claims handling operations.
