Argentine insurance company San Cristóbal Seguros has implemented Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to support its core operations.  

The initiative aims to streamline the insurer’s IT operations and enhance its personal auto and fleet management business segments. 

A Guidewire client since 2015, the company is expected to benefit from a quoting engine and new functionalities aimed at boosting operational efficiency and quickening time-to-market.  

The transition to Guidewire Cloud was facilitated by SBI Technology, a member of the Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Advantage programme.  

Grupo San Cristóbal chief information officer Federico Rela said: “Guidewire is a benchmark in everything that involves managing the businesses of P&C [property and casualty] and all processes in the insurance policy life cycle. It is helping us innovate, thanks to the focus and specialty they have in understanding business and the good practices of the market.  

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

San Cristóbal has 85 years of experience in general insurance, with its offerings including auto insurance and P&C coverage.  

The company has 23 offices and a network of more than 6,000 advisors and producers, catering to more than 910,000 policyholders. 

This announcement follows a similar move by Belgian cooperative insurer P&V Group, which migrated its core applications to the Guidewire Cloud Platform to enhance underwriting, billing and claims management processes.
