SMA Technologies and Guidewire launch new accelerator to help insurers save

The accelerator is now available on the Guidewire Marketplace and is fully compatible with Guidewire Cloud.

The OpCon accelerator is a workload automation solution that has been integrated with Guidewire Cloud. This integration provides insurers with a centralised platform for monitoring and optimising multiple batch processes and work queues within their InsuranceSuite. The accelerator is designed to improve accuracy, reduce costs, and simplify IT operations.

“SMA’s OpCon accelerator can help insurers save $30,000 or more per month by automating manual tasks and streamlining workflows,” said Todd Dauchy, CEO of SMA Technologies. “We are excited to partner with Guidewire to put the power of automation in their customers’ hands to drive operational efficiency and accelerate the business contribution of IT.”

“The release of the OpCon accelerator comes at a time when insurers are facing increasing pressure to innovate and deliver better customer experiences,” said Will Murphy, vice president, global technology alliances at Guidewire. “SMA’s OpCon accelerator is well-positioned to help insurers achieve these goals by automating processes and freeing up internal bandwidth.”

The OpCon accelerator can be used with core systems in InsuranceSuite Cloud, including ClaimCenter, BillingCenter, and PolicyCenter. This enables insurers to synchronise data in ClaimCenter, streamline BillingCenter operations, and automate PolicyCenter-dependent processes. Additionally, the accelerator can be used to automate end-of-day, end-of-week, and end-of-month processing; reporting and auditing; and commission and third-party payments.

SMA Technologies and Guidewire believe that the OpCon accelerator will help insurers to improve their operational efficiency and better serve their customers.
