The collaboration aims to leverage Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to streamline core business operations and simplify IT infrastructure.
Having been a Guidewire customer since 2014, Encova is now poised to migrate its InsuranceSuite from a self-managed environment onto Guidewire Cloud across all lines of business and states of operation simultaneously.
Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Global Premier member PwC has been selected to lead the implementation project.
Guidewire Chief Marketing Officer Brian Desmond, said: “It’s been a true honour partnering with Encova in driving innovation and growth.
“As we transition into the next chapter together with Guidewire Cloud, we are excited to fulfill our role in delivering the agility Encova can depend on to continually enhance its offerings and services for agents and policyholders.”
Speaking about the new partnership, Casey Jordan, Encova VP, Information Technology Application Services, said: “By leveraging InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud, we will be able to shift system maintenance to Guidewire, so we can stay current on the latest innovations and decrease our own on-premise technology infrastructure footprint, enabling our IT staff to focus on tasks that deliver value to our agents and policyholders. We will also be able to manage risk by maturing our business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.”
“We are thrilled that Encova entrusted PwC again to deliver the next stage of its transformation journey through the implementation of InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud,” said PwC Partner Imran Ilyas.
Jordan added: “Cloud transformation is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses to stay competitive in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. As a trusted partner, we are committed to delivering the highest level of expertise and support to Encova as they embark on this project.”
