Details: Guidewire Implementation ServicesEven the best software requires a great implementation team for project success. Our Professional Services team has built Guidewire's unmatched level of customer success through a lean, collaborative approach to core system implementation. Listening to customers who told us that they could not afford the disruption and costs of runaway projects, we sought to innovate in implementation to the same degree that we had in software development. Today, several key characteristics distinguish a Guidewire project: Small team of veteran consultants with overlapping skills, insurance experience, and Guidewire product expertise Rigorously quantitative work planning based on fact, based on successful implementations Project execution organized into month-long "sprints" to maintain urgency and accountability Complete knowledge transfer to customers As representatives of a product-oriented company, Guidewire consultant teams are completely aligned with customer goals: project success, on time and on budget. Combined with the great configurability of our solutions, this has allowed Guidewire to achieve closer alignment with customer requirements at consistently lower Total Cost of Ownership. Our ValuesThe Guidewire team is very proud of the reputation we have earned in the industry. We take great pride in the products we build and the manner in which we operate as a company and on an individual level. We live and operate by three basic principles. These are the same principles upon which Guidewire was founded and they remain at the heart of all we do today: We value integrity in everything that we do: truthful relationships with customers, prospective customers, partners, investors, and each other. We are dedicated to rationality: communicating through clear arguments, building excellent quality products, and making decisions carefully on the basis of factual evidence. We prize collegiality: working together as professional equals, with a minimum of hierarchy. Guidewire is growing our professional services team based on strong client demand.
