Guidewire Connections 2024: Key Highlights from the Event

The new features of Autopilot for PC captured attention during the event, promising enhanced user experiences and improved system performance. These innovations aim to help businesses improve operational efficiency while meeting the growing expectations of their clients. 

Some businesses have already adopted these features, showcasing their relevance and immediate positive impact. This swift adoption confirms that Autopilot innovation provides a significant competitive advantage. 

The Autopilot Console is now the main administrative and operations tool for the Autopilot Workflow Service. 

The Autopilot Console consists of a set of screens that allow a development operations (ops) person to search for, view, and manage the following: 

• Packages 

• Workflow definitions 

• Workflow instances 

The developer experience was highlighted as a strategic priority.  Improvements, and available new features will enhance the work. These efforts aim to provide technical teams with optimized tools and resources for developing high-performing solutions. 

Providing clear documentation and intuitive tools allows developers to maximize productivity while improving implementation timelines. 

One of the key highlights at Connections was the presentation of the new Jutro templates and how they significantly reduce implementation efforts. These templates enable businesses to deliver highly tailored digital experiences that meet specific customer needs. However, it’s important to remember that while the templates serve as valuable starting points, they are not plug-and-play solutions. 

During the event, Guidewire invited customers to share their experiences with leveraging the Jutro Digital Platform alongside Guidewire Cloud. They provided valuable insights on how to maximize the platform’s potential and navigate its nuances. A key piece of advice shared was: “You can build whatever you want with Jutro, but understand that you start with building blocks, nothing Out of the box and implementation decisions may have an impact with InsuranceSuite”. 

Cloud migration remains a major focus for businesses. During the event, the available migration tools were showcased as essential for simplifying the transition from traditional systems to the cloud. 

Statistics on successful migration rates were also shared, highlighting the benefits of this transformation: increased flexibility, cost reduction, and scalability. These inspiring figures encourage businesses to accelerate their move to the cloud to stay competitive. 

The new data available for Canada and its integration with existing policies were praised as a significant advancement. These data offer Canadian businesses better insights to structure and leverage their information. 

However, some optimizations are still needed to maximize the effectiveness of this integration. Future efforts will focus on further simplifying the use of this data and ensuring it meets the specific needs of businesses. 

The London Market was presented as a strategic asset for companies operating on a global scale, including in Canada. Discussions emphasized the importance of keeping clients informed about emerging innovations, not only to maintain strong relationships but also to open new opportunities. 

Recent innovations from the London Market enable businesses to access advanced solutions while strengthening customer relationships through better communication. Highlighting these innovations reinforces the market's global influence and opens unique opportunities for businesses looking to adopt cutting-edge practices.
