PwC has achieved Guidewire Migration Acceleration Specialization to speed insurers’ move to Guidewire Cloud with lower transitioning costs delivery and improved delivery of quality and predictability.
In order to gain specializations, either regional or global, partners are required to demonstrate the requisite skills, knowledge, and competency in a specific Guidewire product or solution, as validated by Guidewire certification achievements.
PwC has assigned a dedicated Migration Acceleration team that will solely focus on Guidewire Cloud migrations.
As a Global Premier partner, the company has built a large and capable practice that has experience in handling complex migration projects, offering insurers a specialized and streamlined approach to their cloud migration process.
This experience translates into reduced risks, improved efficiency, and enhanced outcomes for insurers for cloud migrations, which can help insurers navigate the challenges of migrating to Guidewire Cloud.
Lisa Walsh, Group Vice President, Global Consulting Alliances, Guidewire: “Guidewire is deeply committed to working with our customers to get them to our SaaS platform and application suite. Our objective is to give our customers options and confidence in the partners they can choose from to help them migrate to Guidewire Cloud.
“We’re very pleased that PwC has achieved this specialization and applaud the investments they have made in helping insurers move to GWCP (Guidewire Cloud Platform) to drive better insurance outcomes.”
This Migration Acceleration Specialization also extends to services and sales alignment through multiple workshops and documentation.
Additionally, partners with specializations can better promote their capabilities across Guidewire products and solutions.
Imran Ilyas, Partner, Cloud and Digital, PwC, added: “Through strategic investments in Guidewire-specific skills, capabilities, and migration assets, PwC has positioned itself as one of Guidewire’s top consulting partners to support insurers in achieving their strategic initiatives.
“Our comprehensive resources enable us to provide robust assistance while effectively managing costs, ensuring a cost-efficient approach for insurers throughout the migration process.”
PwC has also recently been honored with two PartnerConnect Consulting Excellence awards: 2023 Global Premier Outstanding Market Growth for the Americas and 2023 Global Premier Passion for Excellence.
With PwC holding the status of Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting partner, Guidewire has now achieved a total of over 200 specializations, the firm noted.
