About the company

Guidewire provides software for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. Its platform is a cloud-based suite that helps insurers run core operations such as underwriting, policy administration, billing, and claims, with added analytics and AI features. Customers subscribe to the software as a service (SaaS) and pay for cloud access, implementation, and ongoing support. The company differentiates itself by its deep specialization in P&C, a large number of successful implementations (about 1,600), a track record of industry recognition (awards and a strong position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for P&C Core Platforms in North America), and an integrated set of digital, core, analytics, and AI tools designed to modernize insurers’ core systems. Its goal is to help P&C insurers modernize their technology, improve customer experiences, and grow their businesses through a cloud-based platform.

West Bend moves claims operations to Guidewire Cloud.

West Bend moves claims operations to Guidewire Cloud. The carrier says the cloud implementation creates the data foundation needed to expand analytics and AI across claims workflows. Anthony R. O'Donnell // September 30, 2026 (Image credit: IIR.) West Bend Insurance Company (West Bend, Wisc.) has moved its claims operations onto Guidewire Cloud across all lines of business, establishing what the companies describe as a foundation for broader use of analytics and AI in claims. The implementation gives West Bend direct access to claims data within live operational workflows, which the carrier says will support improved claims decision-making and future expansion of AI capabilities. "Connecting our reliable data directly to live workflows is what makes AI in claims management possible," comments Murali Natarajan, SVP and CIO, West Bend. "By embedding analytics directly into the daily workflow, we can improve indemnity accuracy and deliver optimized claims service to our policyholders." Natarajan says the architecture is intended to create a claims environment that can learn from previously closed claims and apply those insights to subsequent ones. Building the Claims Data Foundation Guidewire (San Mateo, Calif.) positions the migration as an example of how insurers can prepare existing core workflows for AI and agentic applications by improving access to operational data. "Implementing Guidewire Cloud provides the direct, real-time data access required to turn raw claims information into actionable operational intelligence," comments Michael Mahoney, Head of Professional Services, Guidewire. Ernst & Young LLP (EY), a Guidewire Consulting member, led the implementation. "West Bend now has the foundation to shift from reactive claims handling to a proactive, data-driven strategy across the entire business," comments Chris Raimondo, EY Global and EY U.S. Insurance Consulting Leader. West Bend writes property, casualty and workers' compensation insurance in 14 states and offers surety coverage nationwide.

StreamSettle joins Guidewire Vanguard Program to accelerate claims settlement.

StreamSettle joins Guidewire Vanguard Program to accelerate claims settlement. StreamSettle Sep 28, 2026, 06:00 ET StreamSettle joins Guidewire Vanguard Program to bring triple-blind settlement technology to P&C carriers, cutting litigation cycle times and claims costs. CYPRESS, Texas, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - StreamSettle, the industry's first triple-blind deal detection software for claims settlement, announced that the company has joined the Guidewire Insurtech Vanguards program, an insurtech incubator from Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE), the platform P&C insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently. "Guidewire is the gold standard for P&C innovation, and we are honored to be named as an Insurtech Vanguard," says Chrysa Jones, COO, StreamSettle. "For decades, negotiation posturing has cost the industry millions in unnecessary litigation. We are proud to bring our triple-blind deal detection software to the Guidewire ecosystem, empowering carriers to cut through years of litigation and the associated costs." Insurtech Vanguards is a community of select startups and technology providers that are bringing novel solutions to the P&C industry. As part of the program, Guidewire provides strategic guidance to and advocates for the participating insurtechs, while connecting them with the Guidewire customer community. "We are thrilled to welcome StreamSettle to our Insurtech Vanguards community," said Laura Drabik, Chief Evangelist, Guidewire. "Their innovative approach enables insurers to identify settlement opportunities early, avoiding the risks and costs of unnecessary litigation while driving measurable value through improved cycle times and reduced loss adjustment expense." StreamSettle utilizes patent-pending, triple-blind encryption protocols to securely and confidentially test for overlap in disputing parties' True Settlement Thresholds (the number they'd be willing to settle for but would not say aloud to their opponent). When an overlap is detected, the parties have a binding settlement at the mathematical midpoint. If there's no overlap, no numbers are revealed, no fees are charged, and no leverage is lost, making StreamSettle uniquely risk-free. About StreamSettle StreamSettle was built by board-certified trial attorney Joe Jones, who grew tired of settling claims after years of costly litigation, for an amount that everyone would have been happy with at the beginning of the claim's life cycle. There just had to be a way to test for settlement overlaps without either side showing their cards. And thus, the idea of blind threshold testing was born. More than half of the claims that are negotiated on the StreamSettle platform reach immediate resolution, with 76% of those settlements captured pre-lit. The mission behind StreamSettle is to resolve claims before suit is even filed and catch the rest at their earliest mathematical possibility. For more information, visit www.streamsettle.com.
