“While it was predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would impact sales execution across enterprise software, the P&C core platform market remained remarkably resilient,” wrote Gartner. “Overall, there has been an increase in full-suite implementations (policy, billing and claims) in 2020 over the prior years.”

“We are thrilled that Gartner has named InsuranceSuite as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for P&C Core Insurance Platforms, North America for the seventh consecutive time,” said Eugene Lee, general manager, InsuranceSuite, Guidewire Software. “We believe this recognition validates the continuous improvements we are making to the suite to ensure insurers remain innovative and efficient as they grow their businesses.”
