The project is supported by Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting members Cognizant and Infosys.
Initially, the Guidewire products were deployed in Echelon Personal Auto and IRCA (Individually Rated Commercial Auto) lines of business in Ontario province.
The project is now in the early stages of implementing the solutions in these business lines across Canada. The future rollouts will include other specialty commercial lines of business.
Echelon president Robin Joshua said: “As a leading Specialty insurer, it’s important that we’re able to use our data to make better decisions. With InsuranceSuite, we can now leverage more of our data to inform our product and pricing modelsx.

“We are honoured to be providing the technology foundation to enable Echelon to continue its mission of providing personal and commercial insurance solutions to protect Canadian families and businesses.”
