Guidewire benefits from Guidewire Cloud’s momentum. The company is experiencing increasing demand for its cloud platform as insurers move from legacy systems to cloud-based solutions. Key initiatives include expanding the cloud platform with new applications such as PricingCenter and UnderwritingCenter, which integrate seamlessly with existing InsuranceSuite applications to improve pricing accuracy, risk assessment and operational efficiency.
The company is also integrating generative AI and advanced analytics into these offerings, using data-driven insights and workflow automation to improve insurer productivity, accelerate decision-making and deliver a superior experience for policyholders. Guidewire continues to foster a robust ecosystem of partners and insurtechs, exemplified by acquisitions such as ProNavigator, to accelerate innovation, enable context-aware guidance, and extend the platform’s value to customers worldwide.
In September 2025, Guidewire unveiled a new step in its mission to empower Japanese insurers by building market-specific functionality for PolicyCenter on Guidewire Cloud. This initiative reflects Guidewire’s continued investments in helping insurers in Japan accelerate digital transformation and deliver superior customer experiences.
