- Insurers are increasingly adopting Guidewire Cloud to replace legacy systems.
- Guidewire's cloud platform offers enhanced scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency.
- ISG's 2025 report highlights key providers and trends in the Guidewire ecosystem.
Insurance companies are making the shift from on-premises systems to the Guidewire Cloud core platform, as noted in the 2025 ISG Provider Lensâ„¢ report by Information Services Group (Nasdaq: III). This migration trend is driven by the need for greater scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency in a rapidly evolving market where customers demand more personalized services.
Guidewire's move to cease support for its existing on-premises solutions has prompted insurers to transition to the cloud-based model. The comprehensive report outlines the challenges involved, including the need for strategic planning, change management, and technical debt management. Experienced service providers are crucial for successful transitions.
To meet the increasing demand for digital advancements, Guidewire is expanding its offerings with digital portals, process automation, and robust data analytics platform. However, the capability of service providers to implement these tools is still developing.
The ISG report identifies leading providers in the Guidewire ecosystem, such as Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, EY, HCLTech, Hexaware, PwC, and TCS. Furthermore, GFT has been recognized as a Rising Star due to its promising service portfolio and future potential.
With implementation kits now available, Guidewire simplifies deployments and reduces customization needs, allowing smaller providers to engage confidently in Guidewire implementations. This development encourages insurance companies to consider holistic innovation projects that surpass core platform replacement.
