By GlobalData“Over the past five years of collaboration between Guidewire and Shift, Shift was among the first to develop a cloud-based integration and has been an influential resource as we develop the fraud module for Guidewire Autopilot Workflow Service.”
Shift Technology global head of partnerships Drew Whitmore said: “In deepening our relationship, we can continue to meet the evolving needs of insurers around the world and improve the claims process through the integration of two of the P&C insurance industry’s leading solutions.”
Shift joined the Guidewire PartnerConnect programme as a Solution partner in 2019.
In early 2020, the Shift Claims Fraud Detection Add-on for ClaimCenter was published in the Guidewire Marketplace.
The integration allowed insurance professionals to receive real-time alerts in their ClaimCenter environment, facilitating quick, accurate and fair claims decisions, the company noted.
Last month, Guidewire participated in the Series A funding round of Pinpoint Predictive, a risk assessment platform for P&C insurers.
In November 2023, Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions partnered with Guidewire to create a more interconnected insurance industry through technology, aiming to streamline operations between risks, customers, reinsurance companies and brokers.
