Guidewire Announces Docusign for PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter
New solutions enable P&C insurers to accelerate digital transformation with more than 80% straight-through processing of e-signature documents
Guidewire (NYSE:GWRE) today announced the availability of Docusign for PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter, new integrated solutions that help property and casualty (P&C) insurers streamline agreement workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve customer and agent satisfaction through faster digital service. By acquiring and implementing Docusign's electronic signature technology directly through Guidewire, insurers can simplify procurement, accelerate deployment, and process policies and claims faster to deliver measurable business impact.
"The results we've seen with Guidewire and Docusign have been nothing short of remarkable," said Tim Hays, Vice President and CIO, Mountain West Farm Bureau. "Within the first six months, we reached more than 80% straight-through processing—an achievement that continues to impress us."
Docusign for PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter addresses a long-standing challenge in the insurance industry: the time-consuming, error-prone processes associated with paper-based agreements and signatures. With 75% of insurance customers willing to switch providers for a better omnichannel experience, this partnership helps insurers meet evolving customer expectations in an increasingly digital world.
"Policyholders today expect the same digital convenience from their insurers that they experience in other areas of their lives," said Will Murphy, Vice President, Marketplace and Technology Alliances at Guidewire. "Digital signatures are no longer optional—they're essential for keeping pace in a competitive market. By integrating Docusign into our platform, we're enabling insurers to streamline agreement processes securely and efficiently, all within the Guidewire ecosystem and through a single trusted partner."
