Guidewire is benefiting from the momentum of Guidewire Cloud. The company is experiencing increasing demand for its cloud platform as insurers transition from legacy systems to cloud-based solutions. Key initiatives include expanding the cloud platform with new applications like PricingCenter and UnderwritingCenter, which integrate seamlessly with existing InsuranceSuite applications to enhance pricing accuracy, risk assessment and operational efficiency.

The company is also embedding generative AI and advanced analytics into these offerings, leveraging data-driven insights and workflow automation to improve insurer productivity, accelerate decision-making and deliver a superior policyholder experience. Guidewire continues to foster a robust ecosystem of partners and insurtechs, exemplified by acquisitions like ProNavigator, to accelerate innovation, enable context-aware guidance and extend the platform’s value to customers globally.

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 investment in helping insurers in Japan accelerate digital transformation and deliver superior customer experiences.
