Abstract

The digital transformation of the insurance industry is unprecedented, urged by the changing expectations of customers, the necessity to embrace regulatory requirements and the necessity to enhance operational efficiency. This paper examines the convergence of three leading-edge technologies, Guidewire, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Snowflake, to enable scalable, resilient and data-driven solutions for insurers. AWS and Snowflake provide unmatched cloud infrastructure in terms of security and scalability. They also provide industry-specific applications and frameworks for modernizing core systems for Guidewire, such as Snowflake data warehousing and analytics. By working together, these platforms allow insurers to leverage the combined power of integrated ecosystems, real-time insights, and automation to meet current challenges and adapt to future disruptions. A key focus of this study is providing a roadmap for insurance would-be insurgents looking to capitalize on agility, customer-centricity, or both in one of the most rapidly changing industries in terms of distribution.
