San Cristóbal Seguros Deploys Guidewire Cloud to Increase Agility and Deliver Value

Grupo San Cristóbal, an Argentine financial and insurance group with regional presence, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that San Cristóbal Seguros successfully deployed Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to power their core business and simplify IT operations. A Guidewire customer since 2015, the company leveraged Guidewire Cloud to successfully transform its personal auto and fleet management lines of business by implementing an optimized and effective quoting engine as well as introducing new functionalities to improve efficiency and expedite time-to-market. Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Advantage member SBI Technology supported the implementation project.

“Guidewire is a benchmark in everything that involves managing the businesses of P&C and all processes in the insurance policy lifecycle. It’s helping us innovate, thanks to the focus and specialty they have in understanding business and the good practices of the market,” said Grupo San Cristóbal Chief Information Officer Federico Rela. “Guidewire Cloud gives us better control of our business processes, positioning and laying the foundations to achieve greater speed and agility in the face of the changes that the business requires. Guidewire Cloud is not only a platform, but there is an ecosystem of consulting and technology partners that we can leverage to deliver value much more quickly.”

San Cristóbal Seguros Chief Operations Officer Nicolás Ercole remarked, “Guidewire Cloud and Guidewire Advanced Product Designer have enabled us to react quickly and flexibly to face regulatory changes with greater agility. We're excited about the ease and speed with which we can get updates on Guidewire Cloud so we can enjoy the benefit of new functionalities immediately. Advanced Product Designer, in particular, was a key tool for us, enabling our product and technical specialists to utilize a graphical interface to model our new automotive and fleet products, coverages, risk factors, limits, and product conditions.”

Ercole added, “Another positive aspect of Guidewire Cloud is the introduction of native cloud APIs of InsuranceSuite and the possibility of configuring events, allowing us to quickly capture what happens in our core system and react in other satellite systems and data processing centers in a very simple, agile, and flexible way.”

“We’re honored to have facilitated San Cristóbal Seguros’s Guidewire Cloud implementation project,” commented SBI Technology CEO and Co-Founder Javier Estefan. “Utilizing Guidewire Cloud is enabling the company to achieve enterprise agility, facilitating real-time broker connectivity and allowing for quick adaptation and implementation of new tools and updates.”

“We applaud San Cristóbal Seguros’s 85-year history of dedication to customer service and business process improvement,” concluded Guidewire Head of Professional Services Michael Mahoney. “We congratulate them on their successful Guidewire Cloud deployment and look forward to helping the company grow their business.”
