I haven't posted much lately, because I’ve been laser-focused on this. We just launched of the brand new Guidewire Software core product, PricingCenter - a solution based on the technology our team has worked hard to make the greatest pricing software in the market, enhanced with new capabilities and natively architected into Guidewire ecosystem. It marks a milestone on our journey to become a leading insurance pricing solution - thanks Mat (Mateusz) Gintrowski and the whole amazing Quantee team for being on that journey and getting to this point together. More about PricingCenter: The brand new pricing and rating solution from Guidewire, which seamlessly bridges the gap between actuarial + analytical and rate developer + IT worlds. And no, it's not just a new name for Quantee. It's much more powerful, enhanced solution, and it's hosted on Guidewire Cloud Platform (GWCP) providing additional, so far unseen value for Guidewire client community. It is the only pricing and rating solution natively embedded within the same ecosystem that Guidewire PolicyCenter, Advanced Product Designer (APD), or DataStudio. It provides minimal latency, maximal security, reliability, and speed to market. And we are still committed to offer it to non-Guidewire clients, providing top-notch pricing capabilities and seamless deployment.

It was an school-yard brawl, but a heck of a good time… Margeaux Giles and I went toe-to-toe at InsurTech NY’s debate event last night. I loved the format. Open debate-style conversation where we were allowed to take the conversation wherever it needed go. Special thank you to ⚡️Casey Nelson⚡️ for the invite. I think the audience got the show they were looking for… The insurance industry needs more of this type of conversations. This is the way. Hanley

Join us at InsurTech NY Capacity Day tomorrow, where our Director of Content, Joseph Cross, will present “Improving Unit Economics with Captives." For MGAs, securing predictable, long-term capacity is critical. Captives offer a powerful solution to stabilize your program while capturing economic value that would otherwise flow to carriers. So, if you’re an MGA looking to transform underwriting insight into retained profit, tune in to this presentation for our practical guide. Here’s what we’ll cover: The Capacity Challenge - Why MGAs face increasing pressure to secure stable, strategic capacity partnerships - How and when capacity breaks down for MGAs - The economics of moving beyond tactical, high-cost capacity solutions The Captive Advantage - Retain underwriting margin on predictable layers of risk - Generate investment income from cash reserves - Stabilize program cost and availability long-term - Build enterprise value in a balance-sheet asset From discovery and assessment through strategy, structure, and implementation, we’ll outline the practical path forward. We’ll be around after the presentation to discuss how captives might fit your program’s growth strategy. See you there! https://lnkd.in/ee_Z_fyQ
