Guidewire said that Sentry uses PolicyCenter to support the account setup and submission process

Sentry Insurance, a property and casualty insurer and Guidewire Software, a provider of technology services to property and casualty insurers, have announced that Sentry has recently launched Guidewire PolicyCenter.

Guidewire said that Sentry uses PolicyCenter to support the account setup and submission process for 12 lines of insurance in more than 40 states. PolicyCenter has been integrated with existing customer relations management software, document management and other legacy systems. The new system is expected to improve Sentry’s submission process that formerly required labor-intensive data entry into multiple systems.

Guidewire also said that PolicyCenter provides Sentry’s standard business products and dealer operations with a new business application system that optimises sales, underwriting and policy administration operations as well as improves service to policyholders.

Don Olson, vice president of business products at Sentry, said: Guidewire impressed us with the functionality of its PolicyCenter product. After an extensive review of options, we selected PolicyCenter for its flexibility which would enable us to readily adapt as our business requirements change.

Sentry Insurance offers auto, homeowners and other property & casualty lines, as well as life and annuities coverage. Sentry Insurance also provides specialised insurance to businesses of all sizes. The company’s Sentry Equity Services offers mutual fund services through its Sentry Fund.
