ClaimCenter replaces multiple legacy claims processing platforms and will enable Hollard to quickly adapt to changing market demands and simplify its IT operations, by leveraging ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud.
In addition, Guidewire Cloud Data Access, ProducerEngage, CustomerEngage, and the Australia Goods and Services Tax for Claims capability have also been implemented. These systems combined provide Hollard with near real time access to data.
“We want to be the insurance partner of choice for Australia’s iconic brands,” said Hollard Chief Executive Officer Paul Fahey. “In order to move forward, we realised we needed to optimise our digital capability, and improve scalability, and efficiency. We looked for an elite partner to work with to build our single claims platform, enabling the experiences we want to deliver to our brokers and customers. Guidewire was the solution of choice and is helping us get there quickly.”
