GUIDEWIRE

The software that Guidewire has developed is highly configurable (which means that 3-5 consultants can come in to any insurance company, and within 6-12 months integrate it into current claims processing system)….its mainly aimed for claims and policy processing, using a web front-end … which is pretty innovative considering that most insurance companies are still using outdated mainframe ‘green-screens’.
The training was in two parts …. Modifying the web display to add functionality that may be required, and the back end … integrating it with existing system.
The company itself is experiencing a snowball in demand (doubling in size every year for past 3-4 years) and currently has a global presence …. with two projects in Australia (QBE in Sydney and Suncorp Metway in Brisbane) … Who knows I may be back in Oz a lot sooner than expected!!
