Guidewire, a provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, has commenced developing functionality for PolicyCenter on Guidewire Cloud tailored to the Japanese market.
This is part of Guidewire’s ongoing commitment to the Japanese insurance market, for which the company has committed a $60 million investment over the next five years in April 2025.
As per the new initiative, capabilities previously offered as accelerators for Japanese insurers will now be built directly into PolicyCenter.
This follows Guidewire’s successful extension of ClaimCenter for the Japanese insurance market.
In this strategic collaboration, Guidewire is deepening its relationship with Capgemini, a Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Global Strategic partner, and nurturing its relationship with NRI, a trusted Japanese consulting firm.
This collaboration with the respected local partners aims to expedite the delivery of the tailored PolicyCenter functionality.
Miyuki Ebata, Country Manager for Japan, Guidewire, commented, “Developing Japanese market-specific PolicyCenter functionality represents a major step forward in simplifying the core and digital transformation journeys for Japanese insurers.
“Together with Capgemini and NRI, Guidewire is accelerating efforts to deliver solutions that meet the complex regulatory, operational, and customer experience needs of the Japanese market.”
Lisa Walsh, Group Vice President, Global Consulting Alliances, Guidewire, added, “We’re excited to strengthen our relationship with both Capgemini and NRI to support the ambitions of our valued customers in Japan.
“This initiative brings together global non-life insurance technology experts with deep local market knowledge. Working with these firms will help us deliver solutions that are truly tailored to the unique needs of Japanese insurers.”
