APD Conversion
From rigid product models to cloud-ready insurance experiences
Insurance products are becoming more complex, more personalised, and more regulated, yet legacy product architectures make every change slow and costly. Guidewire’s Advanced Product Designer (APD) provides a structured, scalable approach to product definition, enabling insurers to design, manage, and evolve products more efficiently while supporting faster delivery and better governance. It plays a key role in modernising product capabilities within the broader Guidewire Cloud ecosystem. GFT brings certified expertise, proven methodologies, and deep insurance knowledge to every APD program, supporting a structured, low-risk transition that delivers measurable business value.
