Canadian Property and Casualty insurer is now a
full InsuranceSuite customer, completing its Legacy System
Replacement strategy
The Portage la Prairie Mutual Insurance Company (Portage), a
Canadian Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance provider, and
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), the platform P&C
insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently, today
announced that Portage has successfully deployed ClaimCenter as its
new claims management system in the first phase of its Legacy
System Replacement strategy. The company implemented ClaimCenter to
all lines of business at each of its regional offices.
John Mitchell, President and CEO, Portage said, “Our strategy
was to stay as close to out of the box as possible, only making
changes when it was essential to our business. That strategy was
instrumental in completing the project on time and significantly
under budget. User feedback about ClaimCenter has been positive,
highlighting the system’s easy navigation, reduced training time,
and ready access to client information.”
Portage also recently selected PolicyCenter, BillingCenter,
Client Data Management, Rating Management, and Reinsurance
Management as its new systems for policy administration,
underwriting, billing, client data, rating, and reinsurance
management. With these selections, the company is now a full
InsuranceSuite customer. Portage also selected DataHub and
InfoCenter as its enterprise-wide data management and business
intelligence systems. Portage will be following the same strategy
to implement these products as ClaimCenter: making only those
changes essential to run its business.
Mitchell said, “The implementation of PolicyCenter and
BillingCenter will complete the second of our three-phase Legacy
System Replacement strategy. The final phase will involve
transitioning from our legacy back-end financial and reporting
system to Datahub. Once all of our data is transformed into
DataHub, our data management capabilities and insights will be
significantly enhanced. These new systems will enable us to improve
our ability to compete in an evolving market.”
“We congratulate Portage on this significant milestone in its
evolution and are humbled by its continued trust in the Guidewire
platform,” said Mike Polelle, Chief Delivery Officer, Guidewire
Software. “We applaud the company’s commitment to providing its
policyholders with financial security for their assets, and look
forward to working with the customer and its partners to deliver
the cloud foundation for its future.”
Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting member CGI led the
ClaimCenter implementation project, hosting the product on its
cloud platform. “We are pleased that Portage entrusted us to lead
this implementation project,” said David Cameron, Senior Vice
President, Greater Toronto Area, CGI. “We are excited to see
Portage Mutual use ClaimCenter through our hosted platform to
provide efficient and timely support to its customers during their
times of greatest need. We look forward to working together in the
future.”
Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting member Deloitte are leading
the project to implement PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, Client Data
Management, Rating Management, Reinsurance Management, DataHub, and
InfoCenter, using the Deloitte InsurCloud cloud platform
accelerator. InsurCloud is pre-configured for the Canadian

honored that Portage has selected InsurCloud and Guidewire as the
foundation for the next phase of their business transformation. We
are humbled that the company is putting its trust in Deloitte and
entering into this long-term working relationship with us,” said
David Kerr, Partner, Industry Solutions, Deloitte Canada.
